Paragraph 44
 

Regarding the sensitive issue of election results, most of the countries provide in the law the possibility to partially or fully invalidate election results – and sometimes correct election results or ask for a total or partial recount. It would be suitable for such decisions to be taken by the highest electoral body – including the central election authority of the country; its decision should be reviewable by the highest judicial body or the Constitutional Court or a specialised electoral court when such a judicial body exists.
