The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the appeal filed by a party's election agent against the County Court's handling of a candidate eligibility challenge. The County Court had found the central election board and the specific candidate eligible without hearing the agent, arguing that necessary information was already gathered. The court upheld this approach, ruling that the lower court had correctly obtained all required data to resolve the eligibility issue without a formal hearing.

Lääninoikeus oli kuullut kunnallisvaaleissa valituksi tulleen vaalikelpoisuutta koskevan valituksen johdosta kunnan keskusvaalilautakuntaa sekä sitä, jonka vaalikelpoisuudesta oli kysymys. Korkein hallinto-oikeus hylkäsi valituksi tulleen puolueen vaaliasiamiehen valituksen, jossa lääninoikeuden väitettiin menetelleen virheellisesti, kun vaaliasiamiestä ei ollut kuultu, ja katsoi lääninoikeuden hankkineen ne tiedot ja selvitykset, jotka asian ratkaisemiseksi olivat tarpeen.
