Federal Electoral Committee has decided on appeals

WIESBADEN – In a session open to the public, the Federal Electoral Committee has today dealt with appeals filed against the rejection of the Land list submitted by an association named Partei der Vernunft (PARTEI DER VERNUNFT) in Niedersachsen and against the deletion of a candidate from the Land list of that party in Nordrhein-Westfalen.

The Federal Returning Officer reports that the appeal filed against non-admission of the Partei der Vernunft (PARTEI DER VERNUNFT) in Niedersachsen was rejected; thus the decision taken by the Land Electoral Committee on 26 July 2013 was confirmed.

The appeal filed against the deletion of a candidate from the Land list of the Partei der Vernunft (PARTEI DER VERNUNFT) in Nordrhein-Westfalen was granted.

Additionally, there have been three appeals against the admission of Land lists with the applicants not being entitled to file an appeal. Therefore, these appeals were inadmissible.
