Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible as a voting-rights complaint under Art. 34 BV
Extracted holding
Yes. The complainants, as voters in the City of Bern, had standing to bring a voting-rights complaint against the communal election result.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court held that Stimmrechtsbeschwerden may be directed against communal voting matters and that voters may invoke their institutional function without showing a special personal interest.
