Examinations of candidate lists.
For elections to the Althingi, the National Electoral Commission shall examine the
documentation submitted and ensure compliance with the candidature conditions, cf. Articles
37 and 39. For municipal elections, the senior electoral commission of the municipality
performs this role. The National Electoral Commission may designate a representative in
individual constituencies to receive candidature notifications.
The following shall be removed:
1. the lower names on a candidate list that exceed the stipulated number of names,
2. a name off a list of nomination subscribers if the name is included thereon without the
subscriber’s consent or if the subscriber has allowed his or her name to be included on more
than one list.
If an investigation reveals that the same person has nominated more than one candidature,
that person shall not be considered to be a nomination subscriber of any of the candidatures.
The results of checks on candidacy requirements and any objections raised shall be entered
in the log book.
