Court cases and complaints

Court cases and complaints

In the last decades, the European Court of Human Rights has been solicited in a number of court cases and complaints related to European citizens’ voting rights. The Court has brought clarifications and established principles that must be respected by  European countries.  

In this section you can find a recollection of court cases put forward to the Ombudsman and less official channels by citizens experiencing difficulties and discrimination when exercising their right to vote abroad or from abroad.
