Paragraph 75
 

While international standards recommend short time limits for lodging and deciding on electoral disputes, a number of domestic cases brought before administrative or jurisdictional bodies are rejected for procedural reasons, either because time limits are exceeded or because the competent bodies do not take the time to analyse the substantive elements of the case, arguing of short deadlines. This issue of time limits in election dispute resolution systems is therefore an indispensable aspect to consider in the present report.
