The National Election Committee, acting within its competence as laid down in Section 105/A (4) a), Section 115/I (8) a), and Section 115/P (5) a) of Act C of 1997 on Electoral Procedure (hereinafter: Ve.), issues the following

resolution

on the registration of nominating organizations:

According to Section 51 of the Ve.:

"(1) A nominating organization that wishes to nominate a candidate or a list must be announced with an extract from the judicial register of social organizations issued after the election has been scheduled, as follows:

a) if the nominating organization wishes to nominate a candidate or a list in the territory of several counties, or the capital and a county, at the National Election Committee,

b) if the nominating organization wishes to nominate a candidate only within the territory of one county or the capital, but in several parliamentary individual constituencies or in several settlements, at the regional election committee,

c) if the nominating organization wishes to nominate a candidate only in one parliamentary individual constituency or only in one settlement, at the parliamentary individual constituency election committee or the local election committee."

According to Section 55 (2) of the Ve., "The competent election committee shall register every nominating organization, candidate, or list that meets the legal conditions - within 2 days of its announcement." According to Section 56, "(1) The election committee shall reject the registration of a nominating organization if the nominating organization does not meet the legal conditions. (2) The election committee shall reject the registration of a candidate if the nomination does not meet the legal conditions or the candidate has not made the statements required by law. (3) The election committee shall reject the registration of a list if the nomination does not meet the legal conditions."

Section 105/A (4), Section 115/I (8), and Section 115/P (5) of the Ve. regulate the competence of the National Election Committee in the election of local government representatives and mayors, and settlement, county, and national minority government representatives. These provisions do not explicitly state that the National Election Committee decides on the registration of nominating organizations that wish to nominate a candidate or a list in the territory of several counties, or the capital and a county. In contrast, the rules of competence for parliamentary elections and the election of members of the European Parliament [Ve. Section 90/A (4) b), Section 99/K (5) b)] explicitly state this competence of the National Election Committee.

According to the position of the National Election Committee, the body is obliged to carry out all other activities that are defined for it by law, in addition to those specified in the list of competences listed in the specific provisions of the Ve. Such an activity is the registration of nominating organizations that wish to nominate a candidate or a list in the territory of several counties, or the capital and a county, because the "competent election committee" in Section 55 of the Ve. - in the absence of a different provision, as a result of the place of announcement and the context of the Ve. - must be understood to mean the National Election Committee.
