But if all you have is hearsay, why lodge a complaint? Surely you'd be able to find at least one other witness? If you can't, surely that's a good sign that nothing happened.
But it wouldn't be hearsay for Z to launch the complaint. Granted, they wouldn't have much of a case without evidence from others. But disallowing all but candidates from filing complaints will lead to reliance on hearsay.
In any case, a useful guide is that the people who should be allowed to complain are those who are adversely affected by malpractice. And I think that includes the voting population too, not just other candidates.
Candidates might lose the election, sure, but it's the voting public who loses if someone is elected who's guilty of these sorts of offences.[ Parent ]
