(h) The violation of gender parity in the elections of authorities and of the party bodies, after prior intimation to the party authorities to adjust to such principle. (Political Party Law - Article 50)

Additionally, Article 8 of the Decree No. 1246/2000f establishes that, if a party list does not comply with the rank order requirements, the competent electoral judge shall notify the concerned party which should change the order of the candidates in the list within 48 hours. In case the party does not abide by these requirements, the competent Court shall place in the appropriate places the women candidates who are next on the party list.
