Appeals and complaints

The decisions of cantonal boards and the count carried out by polling station committees can be appealed before the TSE, in accordance with the procedures laid down in this Act. Appeals, which shall not have a suspensory effect, must be submitted by the supervisor or representative of any political party participating in the election and must be supported with evidence for the case on pain of inadmissibility.

Any citizen may file a complaint concerning the acts of the Electoral Boards with the Tribunal within three days, except on polling day when complaints should be filed that same day. The TSE shall issue a ruling without further formalities and the ruling shall take immediate effect.
