that it is important for the First Respondent to prepare and publish
a manual for such persons, in order to allow them to efficiently
conduct the election as required by section 239 (a) of the
Constitution. Without such a manual, and without its publication for
public scrutiny, the election can never be efficient or transparent as
required by the Constitution and the public cannot know whether the
election is being conducted in accordance with electoral law.
38.
In that regard, the Applicants will move for a declaratory order
that there is a legal duty on the First Respondent to produce and
publish such a manual to ensure that the election is conducted in an
efficient and transparent manner as required by the Constitution.
Prompt publication of names of persons who have been removed
from the voters roll, and the reasons for such removal
39.
The Electoral Act provides that the First Respondent may
remove persons from a voters roll by reason of disqualification or
death. In this regard, and by virtue of the provisions of section 156
(a) and section 239 (a) of the Constitution which all provide for
transparency in the electoral process, I contend that the First
Respondent has a legal duty to publish the names of any such
persons who might have been removed from the voters roll, and the
reasons for their removal.
