95 The 1st appellants’ basic allegations of gross irregularities were as follow: (1) many polling centers opened late after 8:00 AM contrary to the NEC’s regulation which requires that all polling places opened at 8:00 AM; that some polling places even opened at 1:30 PM, 2:30 PM and 3:00 PM; that notwithstanding these late opening times, those polling places closed at the regular closing time of 6:00PM, thereby denying many of their members right to vote, in violation of Articles 77(b) and 80(c) of the Constitution. The 1st appellants gave specific polling places where polls opened late to include: a) Joel High School, Tusa Field, District 13, Precinct # 30237, Montserrado County opened at 1:30 PM, b) Saygbeken, District 2, Sinoe County, opened after 2:30 PM. The appellants alleged that at those polling places, the voters were not given additional hours to vote to cover for their lost time; and (2) that the NEC changed polling places without notifying the voters of said change. They named polling precinct #6171, District #7, Fuama, Bong County was changed without required notice from Korniekawoejai to Camp America about six hours walk from the original polling precinct. They contend (a) that these changes were void of any emergency situation; (3) that NEC failed to maintain an accurate voter registration roll which caused many persons names not to be found on the day of voting. They named a candidate of the Liberty Party, Stanley Carter, Sinoe County, District #1 who was only allowed to vote simply because he was a contestant. They contend that many persons similarly situated were denied their right to vote. (4) that following the denial of many persons’ right to vote, the NEC announced that any person carrying a valid voters’ registration card must be allowed to vote; that this prompted the NEC’s staffs to use an extra sheet (copy book) to record names on those who were not on the FRR; (5) that the SMS system of verification was not utilized by NEC contrary to section 3.2 of the enabling regulation on polling and counting; that whether those who were allowed to vote were legitimate voters cannot be known due to NEC’s failure to utilize the SMS verification system; (6) that the NEC failed to use the presiding officers’ worksheet which document would have indicated the starting and ending serial number of ballot making it difficult for ballot boxes to be replaced while in transit from
