Article 62 The Court of Cassation shall have jurisdiction to rule on challenges relating to elections to the Council of Deputies, in accordance with the relevant law. Article 63 The Council of Deputies is the competent authority to accept a resignation from its membership. The resignation shall be deemed final only from when the Council decides to accept it, and the place shall become vacant from the date of that acceptance. Article 64 a. If the Council of Deputies is dissolved, elections for a new Council of Deputies must be held not later than four months from the date of dissolution. If elections are not held during that period the dissolved Council of Deputies shall regain its full constitutional powers, and meets immediately as though the dissolution never occurred, and shall continue its business until a new Council is elected. b. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the King may defer election of the Council of Deputies if there are compelling circumstances whereby the Council of Ministers considers holding elections is not possible. c. If the compelling circumstances mentioned in the preceding paragraph continue, the King, taking the opinion of the Council of Ministers, may restore the dissolved Council of Deputies and invite it to convene. This Council of Deputies shall be regarded as extant from the date of promulgation of the Royal Decree restoring it. It shall exercise its full constitutional powers. The provisions of the present Constitution shall apply to it including those pertaining to completion of the Council’s term and dissolution. The session the Council holds in such a case shall be regarded as its first session irrespective of the date of its commencement. 28
