The Court of Administrative Justice declared the appeal against the Central Electoral Board's decision invalid. The appellant challenged the validity of the 'JEZUS LEEFT' candidate list for seven specific constituencies, arguing the list was incomplete. The court ruled that the statutory requirement for submitting lists on the designated day was strictly met, and the omission of the label did not justify deviating from mandatory election laws.
