Key legal question
Whether the complaint against the planned cantonal referendum on variant B was admissible before the vote
Extracted holding
Yes. Because the challenged referendum concerned a scheme already found unconstitutional, direct review was admissible to protect free political will.
Extracted reasoning
The Court held that, exceptionally, a pre-vote challenge is permissible where the later vote would perpetuate a clear, previously established constitutional defect and could mislead voters.
