Comment
The Electoral Codeinstructs that appeals against decisions on registration of parties for PRcomponent of parliamentary elections as well as for presidential candidatesshould be submitted according to the Administrative Procedure Code. TheAdministrative Procedure Code, however, does not specify who may appeal to thecourt to dispute election related cases, but rather gives a general definitionof persons who can apply to the Administrative Court.
