Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could hear the appeal against the non-entry decision in a voting-rights case.
Decisão extraída
The appealed decision was not a final cantonal-instance decision because the matter had to be brought before the Zurich Administrative Court; the Federal Supreme Court therefore could not hear the merits.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Zurich's transitional rules, voting-rights complaints had to be directed to the Administrative Court, including complaints challenging government acts. Because a cantonal judicial remedy existed, the condition of last instance was not met.
