The Electoral Code could include specific provisions regarding the time and conditions for withdrawal of registered candidate lists. It could also be considered to establish the possibility that a candidate list may be partly accepted (for example, only the names of candidates on the list that meet the eligibility criteria are accepted, and the others deleted from the list). Should such provisions be introduced, it is recommended that safeguards are established to ensure that the right to withdraw candidate lists is not abused.
