Summary/Abstract: Elections play a very important role in modern representative democracies. In democratic political institutions, elections have a number of important functions, for the fulfillment of which it is necessary that the elections are democratic and free, so that electoral machinations and fraud do not occur. The electoral judiciary serves to protect these basic principles of a democratic state. It is important to remember the development of the electoral judiciary, as it can serve as a positive or negative inspirational basis in the case of creating new legislation.
