“Following the decision of the MoI to deny the registration of 11 candidates on the basis that they had not produced the required number of signatures, 9 of them filed complaints with the Supreme Administrative Court. The court rejected five because their registration application contained less than 50,000 signatures and one because the complaint was filed after the deadline. […] 

Following the resolutions of the Supreme Administrative Court, five petitions were filed with the Constitutional Court, four of them being dismissed as inadmissible because the complainants had not collected the 50,000 supporting signatures.”

15 days (for Supreme Administrative Court to decide on registration related matters) (excluding time allotment for petition to be filed before the Constitutional Court and time for Constitutional Court’s decision). 

Note: Since in the Election Law it is not specified how long does it take for the Supreme Administrative Court to come up with decision regarding candidate registration related complaints, we take the general provision from the Administrative Justice Act regarding protection in matters of candidate and party registration. We support this with excerpt from the OSCE/ODIHR Report: “Complaints related to the registration of candidates can be filed with the Supreme Administrative Court, within two days after the decision of the MoI to approve or reject the candidate’s registration. In such instances, the court is to issue its decision within 15 days” (OSCE/ ODIHR Election Assessment Mission Final Report The Czech Republic Presidential Election 11-12 January, 2013 (Warsaw 30 April 2013) http://www.osce.org/odihr/elections/101126)
