The Supreme Court dismissed the association's complaint against the Electoral Commission's refusal to issue a referendum campaign certificate. The Commission rejected the application because the association's statutory goals did not align with the referendum topic and the submitted documents were uncertified photocopies verified only by the vice-president. The Court upheld the decision, ruling that the association lacked both the formal requirement of proper document authentication and the substantive eligibility to participate in the campaign.
