The Supreme Court dismissed a protest against the validity of the presidential election filed by the Veterans of the War Committee. The petitioner argued that candidate lists lacked valid consent declarations for personal data processing, violating data protection laws and rendering the election void. The court ruled that the Election Act does not mandate such consent declarations, making the protest's legal basis nonexistent and the election valid.
