Judicial oversight of the electoral process in Algerian legislation in the light of updates in Ordinance 21-01 Related to the electoral system

Abstract

Judicial oversight is one of the most effective forms of monitoring to ensure that the electoral process is protected from abuses and deviations that may arise during its various stages and because of the effectiveness of such control adopted by Algerian legislation through order No.21-01 on the electoral system.

The judiciary exercises control over the various stages of the electoral process through the authority to adjudicate on problems and abuses that constitute crimes against the integrity of the elections. This control extends to consideration of various appeals to the electoral article without prejudice to the powers vested in other oversight bodies such as the Constitutional Court and the Independent National Electoral Authority.
