Resources

Legal Issue and/or Topic

Description: This paper outlines various legal approaches to election annulments, explores different grounds for annulment, and outlines procedural considerations forcourts and adjudicators when determining whether to annul an election result, drawing on international principles and global jurisprudence. It does not examine systemic issues, such as weak legal frameworks, or the distorting effect of private money in politics, but focuses instead on irregularities in the process that can call the legitimacy of an election into question.
