To take part in the campaign for the referendum, groups of elected representatives, political parties and groupings that meet the conditions laid down in Article LO 1112-10 submit a request for authorisation to the President of the Territorial Council of Saint-Barthélemy, no later than 5 p.m. on the third Monday before polling day.
Each group of elected representatives attaches a list of its members to its request for authorisation.
Each party or political grouping to which elected representatives or candidates have declared their affiliation under the conditions provided for in Article LO 1112-10 shall attach to its application for authorisation the list of these elected representatives or candidates together with their declaration of affiliation.
An order of the President of the Territorial Council, published or posted no later than the third Friday before polling day, sets out the list of elected groups, parties and political groupings authorised to take part in the campaign as well as the list of persons who declare their affiliation.
Any voter registered in Saint-Barthélemy as well as any group, party or political grouping that has submitted an application for authorisation may, within twenty-four hours of the publication of the list, refer the matter to the administrative court. The court will rule in the first and last instance within three days of the application being lodged.
If it deems the application to be well-founded, the court will amend the order.
For the application of the articles of the Electoral Code (Regulatory part) to the campaign organised with a view to a local referendum, references to candidates and lists of candidates are replaced by references to groups of elected representatives, political parties and groupings.
