Paragraph 55
 

The persons entitled to submit appeals are listed in very general terms. The draft revised Article 1 of the Electoral Code provides that the appellant is an electoral law subject (voter, electoral contender, initiative group, referendum participant or other person whose rights are affected) who claims the defence of his/her rights that have been prejudiced in the process of organising and carrying out the elections, through the actions, inactions or decisions of the electoral bodies or actions or inactions of the electoral contenders. This wide definition of the persons entitled to submit complaints or appeals is welcome and in line with international standards.
