The following are necessary for the establishment of the commission: the written consent of the candidate to be nominated for candidacy and the establishment of his committee. Candidates born before August 1, 1972 must attach a declaration of verification.
After collecting 1000 signatures in favor of the candidate, the representative of the election committee informs the National Election Commission about the establishment of the committee. Only after the committee is registered by the National Electoral Commission, it can campaign.
