Summary

According to the draft law, the definition of an election observer organization is defined in the law and election observer organizations are given the right to submit election-related complaints to the Election Commission of the Republic and the Supreme Court in the public interest. For this purpose, the four election laws (the Law on the Election of the National Assembly, the Law on the Election of the European Parliament, the Law on the Election of the Local Government Council and the Law on the Referendum) make essentially the same provisions changes and corresponding changes in the Judicial Procedure Act on Constitutional Supervision. The explanatory letter states that so far in Estonia, neither election observers nor non-governmental organizations, nor voters or candidates have the right to appeal in matters related to elections in the public interest. The purpose of the bill is to define election observer organizations and to give them the right to file complaints in the public interest if they consider that the election organizer or the Election Commission of the Republic has violated the law or other applicable requirements.
