Question juridique clé
Whether the three-day deadline for a communal electoral appeal could be restored under cantonal procedural law.
Solution extraite
No. The court held that the special three-day deadline in the electoral statute is a peremptory deadline and cannot be restored under the general administrative procedure rules.
Motifs extraits
The special electoral rule prevails over the general restitution provision; the interpretation was not arbitrary and is consistent with legislative intent, legal certainty, and the need for rapid finality in voting matters.
