Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal complaint was admissible despite the lack of exhaustion of the cantonal instance hierarchy.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The complaint was not admissible before the Federal Supreme Court because the Administrative Court of Zurich was still the competent final cantonal instance.
Extrahierte Begründung
For vote-rights matters, cantons must provide a judicial remedy; under Zurich law and the BGG transitional rules, the Administrative Court had to hear the case first. The erroneous federal remedy instruction could not cure the missing exhaustion, so the filing had to be transferred.
