=== Eight candidates were excluded at the Election Session due to lack of formal authorisation to represent a Member, including: ===
* Marcinkevičius
* Čivilis
* Gustas
* Janušaitis
* Balčiūnaitė
* Others

===== CAS considered both parties’ translations, concluding: =====
* Article 21 links: (a) the right to represent a Member at the General Assembly (b) the right to vote (c) the right to be elected to the EC

Thus, a candidate must be the President of a Member or a duly authorised representative with a power of attorney at the General Assembly.

===== - None of LTF’s eight candidates were: - Presidents of a Member, nor - In possession of powers of attorney on election day. =====
* They appeared in the “guest list” at registration, meaning no voting right and therefore no eligibility for EC election.

===== - IEC acted properly by checking authorisation on the day of the Election Session, not earlier. =====
* No evidence showed that LTF was obstructed or misled.
* No procedural defect undermined the election.

===== ➡ Exclusions were valid and consistent with Article 21 LNOC Articles. =====
➡ Elections of the EC were lawful.
