The Venice Commission, an advisory body of the Council of Europe, has said in a report that the annulment of election results such as Calin Georgescu’s first-round lead in Romania can only be justified in “exceptional circumstances.”
On Jan. 27, the Venice Commission posted an “urgent” report detailing the conditions and legal standards under which a constitutional court could invalidate elections, in light of Georgescu, who emerged as the frontrunner in Romania’s canceled presidential election.
