The Law a quo stated that the elections be held simultaneously at the national level. This design would require regulatory support, such as the establishment of special courts to solve any disputes that arise from the election.

These legal remedies are even separated in several judicatures. Various countries have also established a special court on local elections with a variety of institutional design and procedural law.
