The proper settlement of electoral disputes is an essential part of a successful electoral process. This implies ensuring an effective system of challenging electoral violations and examination of election-related disputes, combining an effective mechanism of lodging complaints and an effective decision-making process on such electoral complaints. However, while the legislation of all the Venice Commission’s member States includes legal provisions on complaints and appeals’ procedures, most of the domestic laws and their implementation regarding various aspects of election dispute resolution systems could be improved, as regularly underlined by opinions on electoral legislation as well as by election observation reports.
