Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellants had standing to invoke voting-rights protection against the municipal merger decree.
Decisione estratta
They lacked standing: as residents of Barbengo they could not challenge the merger of another municipality, the complaints targeted the substantive desirability of a duly held consultative vote rather than voting irregularities, and the objections were late.
Motivazione estratta
A voting-rights complaint cannot attack the substantive legitimacy of a regular vote. The appellants were not entitled to assert interests of other communes or to contest the favorable consultative result in their own commune.
