Paragraph 53
 

All countries analysed regulate explicitly complaints against election results. Additionally, a number of electoral laws explicitly regulate the possibility to complain on election-day operations. This concerns more particularly the possibility to challenge the operations or the decisions, actions or inactions, taken by election commissions regarding voting (47 countries), counting and tabulation (42 countries),and transmission (11 countries) of election results. These figures have to be taken with caution considering that some domestic laws may have not explicitly detailed such possibilities to lodge complaints on very specific aspects of the electoral processes, while this could be dealt with by infralegislative texts or thanks to the domestic case-law.
