Presentation of Registration Applications

(1) Any registered political party and movement whose activities have not been suspended⁹⁾, including any coalition thereof, may register its candidates for the elections to the Senate through its authorised representative only.

(4) Each registration application must be presented no later than 66 days before the date of the elections to the relevant designated local authority in the seat of election district.
