Election scrutiny complaint: waiver of written reasoning via rapporteur letter under § 24 BVerfGG

The Federal Constitutional Court dismissed the election scrutiny complaint as inadmissible ab initio and deemed the pending application for interim relief moot, thereby leaving the challenged election result in force. The dispute involved a challenge to the validity of an election (election scrutiny procedure) where the complainant alleged defects in the electoral process, but the Court found no merit to the objections raised. The decision relied on § 24 Sentence 2 of the Federal Constitutional Court Act (BVerfGG), which permits the Court to dispense with a detailed written justification when its reasoning is already set out in the Rapporteur’s letter of December 14, 2022, and established that the decision on the merits automatically extinguishes the concurrent request for interim measures.
