A citizen may petition the Landsdoom to challenge the validity of the election, of any vote cast or the conduction of the election if he feels that his rights under the Constitution and law of Fiôvâ have been violated. Such a petition shall be filled within thirty (30) calendar day from the ending of the election

   5. Should the Landsdoom rule in favour of the plaintiff, it may rule either that:
      1. there be a recount of the ballots by a person or persons independent of the Office of the Secretary of State, and that the result of this recount shall be certified as the official result of the election;
      2. the final vote tally shall be adjusted to disregard an invalid vote, include a wrongly discarded vote or include a new vote;
      3. the election be declared void and a new election held under the procedures outlined in this Act.
   6. The decision of the Landsdoom may be appealed to the Uppermost Cort.
