Failure to comply with these provisions is punishable by the penalties laid down in articles L. 86 to L. 117-1 of the same code.
A commission chaired by the prefect or his representative is responsible for ensuring that the ballot is conducted properly and for proclaiming the results.
Appeals against the elections of members of the territorial and regional chambers of commerce and industry are brought before the administrative court in the same way as for municipal elections.
A member of a departmental chamber of commerce and industry of Ile-de-France, a territorial chamber of commerce and industry or a regional chamber of commerce and industry whose election is contested remains in office until a final ruling has been made on the complaint.
