Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the municipality's publication of a selective election recommendation unlawfully intervened in the election campaign and violated Art. 34 BV.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The municipality was not entitled to publish a partisan recommendation that favored only some candidates; a neutral publication of all candidates would have been permissible.
Extrahierte Begründung
Authorities must remain neutral in election campaigns; intervention is exceptional and only justified to correct obvious misinformation. Here the publication of a recommendation excluding one presidential candidate was not neutral.
