105 Challenges to the Final Decisions of the Election Commission.

Only final decisions of the Election Commission including the certification of the results of an election may be appealed by the filing of a Complaint with the Trial Court within ten (10) days of the publication of the decision by the Election Commission. Publication by the Election Commission shall occur when its decision is posted on the inside of the front window of the Sharon Indian School such that it can be read from outside. In counting days for the timeliness of an appeal, the first day shall be the day immediately after posting in the window of the Sharon Indian School has occurred.

In an election challenge the Trial Court shall uphold the Final Decision of the Election Commission, unless the appellant can establish by clear and convincing evidence that the irregularities forming the basis of the challenge would have changed the outcome of the election.

In any other challenge to a Final Decision of the Election Commission, the Trial Court shall review the matter de novo as to both the law and the facts.
