Key legal question
Admissibility of a direct appeal against the federal popular vote without a prior cantonal or federal executive decision
Extracted holding
The complaint was inadmissible because no prior decision or order of a competent lower authority was alleged or apparent.
Extracted reasoning
In federal matters concerning political rights, the Federal Chancellery or cantonal governments are the lower authorities under Art. 88(1)(b) BGG and Art. 80 BPR; the appellant did not challenge any such decision.
