Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
The party PREA submitted its candidacy for the legislative elections of 5 September 2008. The Court verified the regularity of the application, the eligibility of the candidates and the minimum number of supporting voters, and ordered the applicant to remedy the deficiencies found. The Court rejected the candidacy because most deficiencies had not been remedied: 168 candidates lacked compliant documents, candidates were not presented in every constituency and the number of supporters fell below the legal minimum.
