The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the challenge regarding the election eligibility of a high school principal and elementary school head teachers. The applicants argued that their roles as presenters in subordinate management bodies constituted leading positions under the Local Government Act. The court ruled that these positions were not leading roles or equivalent to them within the council's area of responsibility, thereby preserving their voting rights.

Lukion rehtori toimi sivistyslautakunnan vastuualueen alaisen tulosalueen johtokunnan esittelijänä. Kaksi ala-asteen johtajaopettajaa toimivat sivistyslautakunnan vastuualueen alaisen peruskoulujen tulosalueen tulosyksikön johtokunnan esittelijöinä. Rehtori ja johtajaopettajat eivät toimineet lautakunnan esittelijöinä, vaan sen alaisten koulujen johtokuntien esittelijöinä. He eivät olleet lautakunnan tehtäväalueen johtavassa tehtävässä tai sellaiseen rinnastettavassa tehtävässä. Rehtori ja johtajaopettajat olivat vaalikelpoisia valtuustoon.
