Against final decisions issued by the Director General of the Register of Citizens, an appeal shall lie, which must be filed before said authority within the term of three days counted from the last notification. A final decision means one that puts an end to a matter, one that decides an application for revocation and any others specifically indicated in this law. In the same manner proceedings shall be conducted in all other appeals established therein.

Once the appeal has been filed, with notification to the interested parties, the file and a detailed report shall be elevated to the Supreme Electoral Tribunal within a time limit of three days. The Supreme Electoral Tribunal shall give a hearing to the interested parties for a time limit of three days and, with their answer or without it, the corresponding decision shall be issued within a time limit of eight days.

The Supreme Electoral Tribunal shall receive the evidence offered to it and may request such reports as it deems pertinent.

The file shall be opened for evidence only upon request of a party or if the Supreme Electoral Tribunal deems it pertinent, for a time limit of five days.

The decisions, agreements and acts that the Supreme Electoral Tribunal issues or executes may be subject to constitutional relief (amparo) in the cases provided for in the constitutional law on the matter.
