Regarding municipal elections, Decree-Law No. (3) of 2002 on the
system of electing municipal council members and its amendments
regulates the provisions for candidacy. Article 14 of the decree-law
states that: "Those who wish to nominate themselves for membership
in the municipal council shall submit a written candidacy application
to the committee specified in Article 7 of this law, accompanied by
the endorsement of ten electors from the electoral district. The
application should specify the district in which the candidate is
running, and a voter is not allowed to endorse more than one
candidate..."

To ensure the right to candidacy, whether for membership in the
Parliament or the municipal council, the law guarantees that anyone
who applies for candidacy but is not included in the prepared list by the
Election Oversight Committee has the right to have their name added
to the list of candidates or to object to the inclusion of any candidate's
name during the display period of the lists. In all cases, the law allows
the interested party to appeal the committee's decision before the Civil
Supreme Appellate Court, as stipulated in Article 13 of Decree-Law No.
15 on the Shura and Parliament Councils and its amendments. The
same provision applies to membership in the municipal councils, as
regulated by Article 15 of Decree-Law No. 3 of 2002 on the system of
electing municipal council members and its amendments.
