Concerning the persons entitled to complain (standing), most of the Venice Commission’s member States enable in their legislation voters, candidates and political parties to lodge electoral complaints, in line with international standards, but only few go beyond and provide such rights to other categories of persons. Extending the right to complain to additional electoral stakeholders could be envisaged to reinforce procedures regarding the settlement of electoral disputes and increase trust in electoral processes as a whole. If necessary, safeguards must be put in place to prevent the misuse of the complaints system, to avoid frivolous complaints with the only aim to disrupt or block the electoral process.
