Resumo Omnilex

The Regierungsrat held that it was competent to decide by lot which related member must resign from the cantonal parliament under Art. 51 KV. The provision excludes closely related persons from serving simultaneously and requires a lottery if resignation must be determined. Since the Constitution does not designate the competent authority, and cantonal elections fall within cantonal matters, the Government Council as the canton’s highest executive authority was deemed competent, especially because the case affected two municipalities.

Sumário Omnilex

Art. 51 KV; competence for lottery decision on kinship-based resignation from cantonal parliamentary office. Where the constitution excludes simultaneous membership of related persons and provides for decision by lot in the event of necessary resignation, the competent authority is to be determined by interpretation of the institutional context. In the absence of an express attribution, competence lies with the canton’s highest executive authority, particularly where the matter concerns cantonal elections and involves more than one municipality (consid. unspecified).

Entscheidpublikation VVGE 1971/75 Nr. 9, S. 14:

Art. 51 KV.

Der Regierungsrat ist für den Losentscheid über den verwandtschaftlich bedingten Rücktritt bei Kantonsratswahlen zuständig.

Entscheid des Regierungsrates vom 11. Juni 1974 (Nr. 176).

Nach Art. 51 KV dürfen dem Kantonsrat Personen, die verschwägert sind, nicht gleichzeitig angehören. Über den durch Verwandtschaft bedingten Rücktritt entscheidet nötigenfalls das Los.

Wer für den Losentscheid zuständig ist, wird nicht ausdrücklich bestimmt. Die Kantonsratswahlen sind kantonale Wahlen (Art. 24 AG). Der Regierungsrat ist die oberste vollziehende Behörde des Kantons. Im vorliegenden Fall handelt es sich zudem um eine Angelegenheit, die zwei verschiedene Gemeinden betrifft. Der Regierungsrat erachtet sich deshalb als für den Losentscheid zuständig.

Questão jurídica principal

Which authority is competent for the lottery decision on a kinship-based resignation from the cantonal parliament under Art. 51 KV?

Decisão extraída

The Government Council is competent to carry out the lottery decision.

Fundamentação extraída

Art. 51 KV excludes related persons from simultaneous membership in the cantonal parliament and provides for a lottery if necessary. The law does not expressly assign the lottery decision. Cantonal parliamentary elections are cantonal elections, and the Government Council is the canton’s highest executive authority. Because the matter also concerns two different municipalities, competence lies with the Government Council.
