The Venice Commission has previously noted that the electoral legislation of most Council of Europe member States typically lacks detail as to the decision-making power of the competent election dispute resolution bodies and that it leaves a wide discretion for the judge considering election matters to determine whether the irregularities are such as to require annulment of the election.16 For this reason, the Venice Commission has made a general recommendation – which remains valid – to improve the legislation on annulment of election results.17 It is worth noting that the ECtHR has also expressed concerns regarding electoral legislation providing election dispute resolution bodies with (too) wide discretion.18
