In its submissions the IEC as respondent relies on a judgment of this court in the matter of Pitso v The Electoral Commission case no 1/2001 and in particular on the following passage in the judgment: "In my view objections material to the declared results of an election in terms of section 65 of the Act will in the overwhelming majority of cases be concerned with the irregularities in the voting procedure, the ballot papers, the number of votes cast and the number of spoilt ballot papers and the reasons why those ballot papers were rejected. In other words any irregularity which would affect the tally of votes to the extent that an unsuccessful candidate may gain sufficient votes to reverse the election result. Should an objector rely on an irregularity such as the display of a poster or an unlawful interference with a voter's choice of candidate, then a sufficient number of affidavits of voters concerned would probably have to be filed in support of the objection to show that the declared result of the election might have been materially affected." It would appear that the latter portion ofthe judgment has not received the attention which it merited.
