Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellants could directly bring the political-rights complaint to the Federal Court despite the cantonal judicial instance issue.
Decisione estratta
The complaint was admissible; exhaustion of the cantonal instances was exceptionally waived because serious doubts existed as to the proper cantonal appellate route during the transitional period.
Motivazione estratta
For political-rights complaints, a cantonal judicial instance is normally required, but transitional uncertainty under the Zurich adaptation ordinance justified direct federal review.
