Paragraph 58
 

Therefore, the provisions under examination contain procedural guarantees which appear capable of preventing arbitrariness, insofar as they are applied in a manner that respects the threshold of seriousness as described in paras 51-52 above and take into account the limited availability of effective ex post remedies in the electoral context. The deadlines prescribed are also consistent with the recommendation of the Venice Commission that judicial procedures concerning electoral matters should be simple, free from excessive formalism, and subject to short time limits, typically between three and five days.
