As the Venice Commission noted in the Report on electoral law and electoral administration in Europe, in a number of cases, the procedures for dealing with complaints and appeals are not clearly defined or are very complicated, depending on the domestic legal situations observed. International observers’ reports repeatedly characterise domestic electoral laws and other relevant laws (including procedural laws and codes) relating to complaints and appeals’ procedures as incomplete, ambiguous, confusing or too complex. This leads to an inconsistent interpretation and application of the electoral law, especially regarding the admissibility of complaints and decision-making at different levels. Moreover, the rules and procedures are often not well understood by electoral subjects. Furthermore, members of relevant bodies, in particular members of election commissions, are not always sufficiently trained on election complaints and appeals’ rules.
