§ Electoral Code art. 55Person in charge of finances (Treasurer)

Person in charge of finances (Treasurer)
(1) The electoral competitor, referendum participant or initiative group shall designate
and submit for confirmation a person responsible for its finances (treasurer) as follows:
a) Central Electoral Commission — for initiative groups and electoral competitors in
parliamentary and presidential elections, for political parties and electoral blocks nominating
candidates for local elections and for participants in referenda of all levels;
b) electoral constituency council — for initiative groups and independent candidates in
local elections.
(2) The request for confirmation of the Treasurer may be submitted to the electoral
body when the set of documents relating to the registration as an electoral competitor, a
referendum participant or an initiative group is submitted or after registration in that capacity.
(3) In order to be confirmed by the electoral body as treasurer, the designated person
must have specialised economic, accountancy studies and do not hold public office functions.
(4) The electoral competitor, referendum participant or initiative group shall have the
right to appoint as treasurer a person responsible for its finances, under a contract submitted
for confirmation to the electoral body, in accordance with paragraph (1).
(5) The status of treasurer is incompatible with any other status of subject involved in
the electoral process. In a ballot, several initiative groups or electoral competitors/referendum
participants may not designate the same person as treasurer, regardless of the level of the
constituency in which they stand, unless the political parties constitute an electoral bloc.
