Paragraph 62
 

In some countries, there are still excessive limitations: for instance, it happens that voters can complain on issues that relate to their individual situations, such as not being registered on voter registers, but cannot complain on other phases of an electoral process, which however impact them. In a number of electoral laws, it has been observed that rights to lodge electoral complaints are too limited, taking into account the relation between the accessibility to complaints’ procedures and the ability of competent bodies to examine the cases on the merit within a reasonable/lawful time frame.
