Non-PRO (1): writeaway
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"Election disputes" is also correct but it is not frequently used as "Electoral disputes" I checked on google and I found that :
"Electoral disputes" has been used 1 660 000 times
"Election disputes" has been used 520 000 times

: To expand on writeaway's comment, the fact something gets lots of ghits doesn't mean it is relevant to the context of the question. Nonetheless, in this case you may well be right.

: "electoral" is a proper use of an adjective and IMO is not really different to election disputes, except that it sounds like better use of English
