The Committee is responsible for verifying the validity of the election of each Deputy. It advises the House on whether to confirm or reject the election of a Member. According to the Constitution, this power to accept or reject elections is the exclusive prerogative of the Chamber of Deputies, which is also responsible for hearing appeals from candidates who fail to be elected. To this end, the Committee examines the records of all electoral seats and, if necessary, also the individual ballot papers cast by voters. The Committee also determines the existence of any grounds for ineligibility or incompatibility with the parliamentary mandate, and reports to the House, which takes the final decision on the matter.
