Question juridique clé
Whether the appellants had standing to bring a political-rights complaint
Solution extraite
The individual appellants were entitled to complain as Zurich voters, and the two associations were also entitled because their statutes protected members’ interests and many members were voting-eligible in Zurich.
Motifs extraits
Political-rights standing is interpreted broadly; associations may act where they are properly constituted and a large number of members are directly or virtually affected.
