Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, Iceland, Kenya, and Malawi are some countries where courts have recently invalidated national elections or referendums.
[13] They can "remove voters' doubts, remedy violations, increase trust, and, when needed, invalidate flawed elections and defend the integrity of the electoral process.
In contrast, to the municipal or district elections the administrative tribunal has jurisdiction, then the appeal is to the State Council.
In decisions on electoral matters, the law takes into account the results: if an essential principle is violated, the election is canceled but if fraud is "classic" (ballot stuffing, failure to register as voters, vote the dead ...) but the election was won (after counting of ballots invalidated) with a large or very large lead, the judge then cancels rarely the result.
For example, with regard to the dispute concerning registration of candidates for ballots or litigation election, the administrative court has jurisdiction.
The survival of the acts already performed by the elected organs would seem solved by abundant case law that protects innocent trust of third parties.
These elections determine who, on the national level, takes the position of the head of state – the president – as well as the legislature.
The legal case Pitts v. Black in 1984 established the definition of “residence” under the Election Law was excessively strict to the point of disenfranchising homeless voters.
The Court concluded a specific location where the people returns regularly and a place designated to receive mail should satisfy the “residence” requirements.
The Electoral Administration Act 2006 made a number of improvements to electoral registration, improving the security arrangements for absent voting, allowing observers to attend elections and a major change in reducing the minimum age for candidates at UK parliamentary elections.
