Submission and Verification of Signatures collecting lists

(1) Signatures collecting lists shall be submitted, after authentication, to the local council or to the representative authority of the special status administrative-territorial unit. Where a local referendum to recall the mayor is being initiated, signatures collecting lists are submitted to the sector (district) or municipal Court where the respective locality is located.

(2) Signatures collecting lists submitted by an initiative group shall be verified within 15 days. Signatures by persons who have signed the signatures collecting lists multiple times shall be deleted. If upon verification it is established that the required number of signatures has not been collected, then the procedure shall be ceased and the initiative group registration shall be cancelled.
