Question juridique clé
Whether the federal public-law appeal was admissible against the cantonal government's decision on preparatory electoral measures.
Solution extraite
The appeal was admissible and could be examined on the merits because the challenged preparatory act had to be attacked immediately and the cantonal remedy to the Grand Council was not available.
Motifs extraits
Preparatory measures that may distort the popular will must be challenged without waiting for the election result, especially where serious doubts exist about a cantonal remedy.
