As it was mentioned already, we lack further details regarding how many days can pass to complain for the same proceeding in the next level EMB. A complaint against the decision of the competent election commission on rejecting or refusing the complaint may be lodged to the REC. The law also makes clear that a complain has to be lodged within 72 hours to the competent commission (art.107) therefore we are assuming that the complain described in art.110 might take 72 hours to be lodged in REC.
The last instance (Const. Court) delivers the decision within 2 days. However, it is not defined in the law how many days it takes for REC to make a decision.
