It is recommended that the Election Law be amended to ensure that complainants have the right to a public hearing and the right to present evidence at the hearing. Affording these rights to complainants would not be an administrative burden. Nor do costs and time considerations justify ignoring these rights. It should be a relatively easy matter for an adjudicating tribunal to set aside a slot of time, on a daily basis, for complainants to have their “say” about their complaints in a public hearing and to present evidence in support of their complaints.
