On Standing
The petitioner is the Court Examiner, and enjoys universal standing for all questions before this Court.
The Prior Ruling
The Court has been asked to review its old ruling “On the Need for Further Clarification on Restarting Voting Periods,” in light of the region’s subsequent codification of further Election Commission law in the Legal Code. The given ruling also includes a section that has not been challenged and deals with how abstentions are counted in elections.
Holding
As the Regional Assembly has seen fit to specifically legislate the bounds of Election Commission activity and in consideration of the Court’s own prior ruling “On Resolving Ambiguity in the Absence of Subordinate Rules for Government Bodies” and rendered the guidelines portion of the prior ruling obsolete, that portion will be struck out. The abstention portion of the ruling remains in force, while the struck out guidelines will remain present for historical interest.
