Constitutional complaint against election law rejected for insufficient substantiation of fundamental rights violation.

The Federal Constitutional Court (Second Senate, Second Chamber) declined to admit the constitutional complaint as inadmissible, leaving the challenged legislative provisions in force. The dispute involved a challenge to §§ 4 and 5 of the Berlin Election Law, but the petition failed to meet the mandatory requirements for sufficient substantiation of the constitutional arguments. The decision rests on the procedural norms governing constitutional complaints, specifically § 23(1) sentence 2 clause 1 and § 92 of the Rules of Procedure of the Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfGG), which mandate that a complaint must adequately substantiate the alleged violation of fundamental rights to be admissible for review.
