Supreme Court dismisses appeal; referendum notification deadline is receipt date, not mailing date.

The Supreme Court dismissed the Association's appeal against the Electoral Commission's refusal to issue a referendum campaign certificate. The Association argued that the 40-day deadline was met because they mailed their notification on April 29, despite the Commission receiving it on May 5. The Court ruled that the deadline is calculated from the date the Commission actually receives the notification, not the mailing date, to prevent disruption to the election schedule.
