Regarding more specifically the issue of election dispute resolution, the first Joint Urgent Opinion noted that voters in Georgia are not broadly granted legal standing to protect their electoral rights, and it raised concerns about the draft provision according to which any complaints submitted to a commission or court by an unauthorised claimant (i.e., one who does not have standing to submit that type of complaint) or any complaint that is not accompanied by the claimant’s identification is to remain unconsidered.Attention was drawn to the principles that legal standing in election-related cases should be granted as widely as possible and that the procedure must be simple and devoid of formalism, in particular to avoid decisions on inadmissibility, especially in politically sensitive cases.It was noted that during the 2020 parliamentary elections, the majority of post-election complaints were denied consideration, many on technical grounds other than late submission, and that this undoubtedly contributed to public mistrust in the election dispute resolution process and a lack of confidence in the election results.
