Article 70. Nomination of candidates for deputy by political parties

Nomination of candidates for deputy shall begin sixty-five days before election day and end forty five days before election day.

The nomination of candidates for deputies is carried out by the supreme bodies of political parties.

Political parties have the right to:

nominate seventy-five candidates for deputy in single-member constituencies, that is, one candidate for deputy in each electoral district;

nominate no less than seventy-five but no more than one hundred candidates for deputy on the party list.

In single-member electoral districts, the same person may be nominated as a candidate for deputy in only one electoral district.

Candidates included in the party list may be members of the given political party or non-party members. Members of other political parties cannot be included in this list.

The same candidate can only be included in one party list.

Candidates nominated in single-member constituencies cannot be included in the party list.

The procedure for selecting candidates for deputies is determined by political parties.

The number of women must be no less than forty percent of the number of candidates for deputy nominated by a political party in single-member constituencies, as well as on the basis of the party list. At the same time, no less than two of the five candidates in sequence on the party list must be women.

Political parties are entitled to nominate members of their party or non-party members as candidates for deputy. A protocol is drawn up on the nomination of candidates for deputy and the formation of the party list.
