Kansanedustajien vaaleista annetun lain 8 §:n 2 momentin

mukaan vaalilautakunnan jäsenet on valittava siten, että

he mahdollisuuksien mukaan edustavat vaalipiirissä edellisissä

vaaleissa esiintyneitä puolueita. Karkkilan kahdeksasta

vaalilautakunnasta kolmeen oli valittu varsinaisiksi

jäseniksi Suomen Maaseuden Puolue r.p:n edustaja. Demokraattinen

Vaihtoehto r.p:n edustaja oli valittu seitsemään vaalilautakuntaan

ja Liberaalinen Kansanpuolue r.p:n edustaja

kahteen vaalilautakuntaan. Kun otettiin huomioon sanottujen

puolueiden edellisissä vaaleissa Karkkilassa saamat äänimäärät,

voitiin katsoa, että valtuusto oli pyrkinyt valitsemaan

vaalilautakuntien jäsenet mainitussa lainkohdassa tarkoitetulla

tavalla. Päätös ei ollut lainvastainen.
