Election Annulment Upheld Due to Procedural Irregularities
France (FR)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAAn appeal was brought against a judgment that annulled staff delegate elections held on March 19, 1982, arguing that the insufficient number of ballots available and the temporary lack of security for uncounted ballots during a break in the count could not have influenced the results. However, the court upheld the lower court's decision, reasoning that by finding that the number of voters exceeded the received ballots in both colleges and that the vote count, resumed the next day, was interrupted without adequate measures taken to protect the uncounted ballots, the court had sovereignly concluded that these procedural irregularities were sufficient grounds to suspect the results of the election were compromised, thereby legally justifying the annulment.
