45.10. The applicant’s computation does not, therefore, establish the 700 000
unaccounted votes he alleges to be part of the tally for presidential election
votes.
46. Ad Para 6.4.6
46.1. In terms of the applicant’s D series, the applicant identifies a variation in the
results of the presidential election of 0.1% giving him a total of 44.4% and the 1st
respondent a total of 50.7%. This does not affect the outcome of the election as
the 1st respondent still passes the statutory threshold of 50% plus 1.
47. Ad Para 6.4.7- 6.4.8
This is denied.
47.1. In terms of s56(3a) of the Electoral Act, a voter is not obliged to receive
multiple ballots where more than one election is being conducted
simultaneously. A voter is at liberty to specify which of the multiple elections
he/she wishes to cast a ballot in and he/she is accordingly given ballots
corresponding to those electoral races.
47.2. The applicant’s averment that by peremptory dictate of the law, every voter
must be given three ballots, (for the presidential, House of Assembly and local
authority elections), and thereafter cast same said ballots again by peremptory
dictate of the law, is, therefore, not correct.
