Question juridique clé
Whether the public-law appeal against an indirect election was admissible and the complainant had standing
Solution extraite
The appeal was admissible: the right to vote was implicated because the claimant argued the election should have been held by the people; his status as an elector was sufficiently established.
Motifs extraits
When the complaint is that a parliament usurped a power belonging to the electorate, Art. 85 let. a OJ applies. Standing required only allegation of electorate status, later confirmed by the cantonal voting office.
