The administrative court upheld the district court's decision to use a lottery to determine the order of two substitute candidates with identical vote counts. The district court had initially re-verified the vote totals for a candidate selected from a party list and found them equal to another substitute candidate's total. The court ruled that the lottery mechanism prescribed in the Municipal Elections Act was the correct procedural method for breaking this tie.

Toimitetaanko kunnallisvaalilain 83 §:ssä tarkoitettu arpominen

kunnallisvaaleista tehtyä valitusta ratkaistaessa lääninoikeudessa.

Lääninoikeus vahvisti vaaleissa puolueen ehdokaslistalta

varajäseneksi valitun ehdokkaan äänimäärän uudelleen äänestyslippujen

tarkastuksen perusteella. Kun tämän jälkeen sanotun

ehdokkaan ja erään toisen varajäseneksi valitun ehdokkaan

äänimäärät olivat yhtä suuret, lääninoikeus ratkaisi

mainittujen ehdokkaiden järjestyksen arpomalla.
