Venice Commission: Annulment of elections must be the last resort
Democratic elections must reflect the 'free expression of the people and #39;s opinion', according to Article 3 of Protocol No. 1 to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and the annulment of elections is an extreme measure and can only be justified in exceptional circumstances, the members of the Venice Commission show in the report published yesterday, following the verifications requested by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, after the Constitutional Court of Romania annulled the presidential elections in our country on December 6, 2024.
