“After the election results have been confirmed,appeals can be lodged against the decision on the election results, on thegrounds that it is unlawful. […] Such appeals must be lodged with the RegionalAdministrative Court (RAC) within 14 days of the confirmation of results andmust be processed without delay. If the court determines that the decision oraction of an election authority was unlawful and this unlawfulness has clearlyaffected the election result, a new election is held, or, whenever possible,the election result is rectified. The RAC decision may be challenged in theSupreme Administrative Court (SAC) within 30 days. Its decision is final.”
Comment

The law does not state a time line for when either the first or thefinal instance body must issue a verdict. The law only specifies that an appealshould be processed without delay.

Thecomplainant has 30 days to appeal the decision of the first instance body.
