05frequently asked
What people ask us most.
General answers. Every case is reviewed at the first conversation.
Do electoral actions only involve candidates?
No. Parties, public managers, companies and even voters can be parties to electoral actions and complaints.
How long do I have to respond to a complaint?
Electoral deadlines are very short, sometimes a few days or hours. Talk to us as soon as you are notified.
What is an AIJE?
It is an electoral judicial investigation, used to examine abuse of economic, political or media power in an election.
Do you only defend, or also prevent?
Both. Preventive advice is often what avoids the case altogether.
