Toplak and Mrak v. Slovenia, Nos. 34591/19 and 42545/18, ECtHR (Second Section), 26 October 2021

Lack of an effective remedy to make the polling station accessible to people with disabilities.

Art. 3, Prot. 1 ECHR
Art. 1. Prot. 12 ECHR
Art.14 ECHR

1. Disability is covered by the term "any other status" in Article 14 ECHR as a prohibited ground of discrimination.

2. An action whose sole purpose is to obtain a finding of a violation without, however, the possibility of seeking redress is an inadequate remedy.
(The applicants, suffering from muscular dystrophy, complained of the lack of effective judicial means by which they could have applied in advance for an accessible polling station).
