The Federal Court (TF) rejects the request for suspensive effect and provisional measures which accompanies the appeal aimed at canceling the election of the executive in Vernier (GE). He notes that the Council of State is committed not to destroy the voting equipment as long as the procedure is underway.
The appellant, a citizen of Vernier supported by the MCG and his unhappy candidate Thierry Cerutti, also asked for the conservation of evidence from the Post concerning the distribution of voting equipment last spring. In a prescription dating back Monday and made public Thursday, the TF considers that it does not demonstrate that these evidence could disappear if their production should be later ordered.
The TF also believes that the request on the appointment of provisional administrators other than outgoing elected officials is now without object, since their mandate has ended. At the head in the second round of the election, the three outgoing magistrates of Vernier had been appointed provisional administrators. Justice having then noted the absence of irregularities during the ballot, they came into office on June 11.
The TF does not intend to intervene in the conduct of the criminal procedure by the Attorney General, while the appellant requested an extension of the current survey to suffrage infringements and irregularities linked to the distribution of voting equipment. According to him, these requests go beyond the framework of provisional measures and are inadmissible. My rest must now rule on the appeal itself. (1C_383/2025)
