Inadmissibility of European election scrutiny complaint for lack of statutory voter joinder
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Federal Constitutional Court dismissed the election scrutiny complaint as inadmissible, leaving the challenged election result in force. The dispute concerned a complaint filed against the outcome of a European Parliament election, which was challenged on procedural grounds rather than the substantive validity of the vote. The court ruled that the complaint failed to meet the mandatory admissibility requirement of being supported by the formal joinder of at least 100 entitled voters, as stipulated by § 26(3) sentence 2, alternative 2 of the European Elections Act (EuWG). The Court upheld its established jurisprudence regarding this quorum requirement, noting that the arguments presented did not justify deviating from this strict procedural standard, which parallels the corresponding provisions in the Federal Constitutional Court Act (§ 48 BVerfGG).

Verwerfung einer Wahlprüfungsbeschwerde mangels Beitritts von 100 Wahlberechtigten gem § 26 Abs 3 S 2 Alt 2 EuWG
[GRUENDE]
Die Wahlprüfungsbeschwerde ist unzulässig, weil sie ohne den gemäß § 26 Abs. 3 Satz 2 Europawahlgesetz erforderlichen Beitritt
von mindestens 100 Wahlberechtigten erhoben wurde (vgl. BVerfG, Beschluss des Zweiten Senats vom 31. Mai 2005 - 2 BvC 1/05
-, juris). Die Begründung der Beschwerde gibt keinen Anlass, von dieser Rechtsprechung abzuweichen, an der das Bundesverfassungsgericht
auch für die dem § 26 Abs. 3 Satz 2 Europawahlgesetz entsprechende Regelung in § 48 BVerfGG bereits wiederholt festgehalten
hat (vgl. BVerfGE 1, 430 ; 14, 196 ; 58, 170 ; 79, 47 ).
