The case concerns the appealability of a federal vote on bilateral agreements. The Federal Council held that an individual who is a voting Swiss citizen residing in a different canton than the one where the initial appeal was filed is nevertheless legitimately authorized to appeal to a federal authority concerning federal political rights. Therefore, it was unnecessary to decide whether the specific club the appellant represented also had the standing to appeal in this instance.

Eidgenössische Volksabstimmung vom 21. Mai 2000 über die Bilateralen Verträge. Politischer Wohnsitz und Beschwerdelegitimation. Art. 81 BPR. Beschwerdelegitimation beim Weiterzug einer Abstimmungsbeschwerde an den Bundesrat.

Votazione popolare federale del 21 maggio 2000 sugli Accordi bilaterali. Domicilio politico e legittimazione a ricorrere. Art. 81 LDP. Legittimazione a ricorrere in caso di impugnazione presso il Consiglio federale di una decisione cantonale concernente un ricorso sulla votazione.

2.1. Der Regierungsrat des Kantons A. hat die Frage offengelassen, ob der Club P., in dessen Namen und als dessen Präsident Herr I. Beschwerde führte, im Kanton A. beschwerdelegitimiert sei. Vor einer Bundesbehörde ist Herr I. als stimmberechtigter Schweizer Bürger mit Wohnsitz im Kanton B. in Angelegenheiten eidgenössischer politischer Rechte zweitinstanzlich in jedem Fall zur Beschwerde legitimiert. Unter diesen Umständen braucht die Frage in casu nicht entschieden zu werden, ob auch der Club P. zur Beschwerde befugt war.
