Minister of Legal Affairs Doodnauth Singh of Guyana
Before electing to address the jury, Singh had called 263 witnesses in the almost two-year-long hearing in support his contention that the Petitioner did not make out a case as she had set out to do with the aid of 17 witnesses.
Singh said that Perreira had requested an order from the High Court declaring the said election or any part thereof to have been ineffective and to order that fresh Elections be held in whole or part for the purpose of rectifying the said results.
After referring to the petitioner's allegations about the existence of unsigned Statements of Poll and undistributed voter ID cards, Mr Singh said that the ID cards were introduced throughout the country to get away from the pattern in the past where people used to vote on several occasions.
Justice Singh has stated that while the law permitted her to look at ballots, there was no such provision in the law for voter identification cards.
Mr Singh said Downer's evidence was to the effect that he collected Statements of Poll (SOPs), ballot boxes and that he prepared his report and submitted same to the Chief Elections Officer.
Referring to the decision in which Justice Claudette Singh had said that because of the state of the law she could scrutinise a ballot but could not do the same thing with a voter identification card, Mr Singh advocated that the particular law will have to be amended.
Pointing out that while he was not criticising the ruling, Singh said he was placing the blame on the legislature for not taking the latter into account when the law was amended to provide for the introduction of voter ID cards.
