(2) Any provision of the Constitution, any rule or law or enactment as to the effect of, or manner of dealing with, the return of a member to serve in the House of Representatives shall apply to the certificate. (3) The returning officer shall deliver the writ with the certificate endorsed thereon to the Supervisor of Elections.” Section 66 provides as follows: “66. (1) The Supervisor of Elections shall from the certificate on each writ returned to him enter the name of the member in a book to be kept by him at his office. (2) The Supervisor of Elections shall also enter in the book and declaration of equality of votes, any double return and any alteration or amendment made by him in the certificate endorsed on any writ. (3) The book shall be open to public inspection at reasonable times and any person may, on payment of a reasonable fee, take copies from the book”. [48] For the sake of completeness, it is noteworthy that the Court accepts that Rule 65 and 66 of the Representation of People Act above provide for the prescribed forms to be used and the endorsement which should accompany the Writ. Having perused section 66 of the Act, and having examined the statutory forms the Court is satisfied that the form that was utilised, in the case at bar, confirms to the dictates of section 65(1) of the Act and there is no reason to impugn it. Further and by way of emphasis, there is no basis on which the Court can impeach the copy of the writ of certificate, together with the endorsements that are exhibited. These documents are consistent with Ms. Simon, the Supervisor of Election’s cogent and uncontroverted evidence and serve to buttress her reliable evidence. [49] For what it is worth, it is clear that the rules make no allowance for a date to be provided in the form. In fact, there is no section on the form that allows for the inclusion of a date. There is clear evidence before the Court that the copy of the writ of certificate had the requisite endorsement on it. As alluded to earlier, the Court is satisfied that the form utilised is that prescribed by the rules. 17
