The Supreme Court declared the election commission's refusal to register a voter committee admissible and set aside the decision. The commission had rejected the registration because the committee was formed one day before the official election regulation was published, citing a rule that actions before that date are void. The applicant argued the formation date was a clerical error, but the court ruled that the law permits committees to exist prior to the regulation's announcement. Consequently, the court determined that the lack of a prior regulation does not constitute a defect justifying rejection of the notification.
