"The allegations concerning the election day are not supported hy any affidavits of voters who intended to vote for the IFP candidates but were scared away or intimidated into not voting. These allegations have not been shown to have been material to the declared result of the elections in either of the two wards." Appellant submits that section 65 of the Act is not clear on whether supporting affidavits are required or whether the objection is to be contained in an affidavit. In any event with the extremely limited time periods within which the objection is to be filed at the Pretoria office of me IEC the overriding consideration was to lodge the objection as soon as possible. It is further submitted on behalf of appellant that an allegation that voters of a party, losing the election by only 3 votes, have been kept from voting is certainly in the wording of section 65(1) an "aspect of an election that is material to the declared result of the election". In any event if the objection lacked detail the IEC in terms of section 65(3) could have called upon theobjectingparty to submit further information besides investigating the factual basis of the objection [section 65(3)(a) and (d)].
