I was tired and not feeling well. When I
finally got up and looked at the Poll Book, I

of the Poll in the Poll Book."
THE SITUATION AT POLLING DIWSION NO. 57
1.
Premature closure of polling division at officially
designated location at the Pentecostal Church at Robin
Road and Woodpecker Avenue and improper removal of
the said polling division to St. Stephens Basic School at 53
Olympic Way. The returning officer said in evidence :"On the 18th day of December, 1997 at
approximately 8.00 a.m. I toured polling
division 57 in the constituency. Voting was
in progress at the polling station in this
polling division, which was being supervised
by the presiding officer, Sandra Bailey. I
saw at least one Constable in uniform. I
visited again at approximately 10.00 a.m. and
I saw a Constable and a woman Constable.
In the afternoon of the said day I received
certain information as a consequence of
which I went to polling division 57 and
observed that the polling station was not in
operation and the presiding officer and the
poll clerk were not on the premises.
I received hrther information in the
afternoon of the said day and consequently at
approximately 2.00 p.m. I went to St.
Stephens Basic School which is located at 53
Olympic Way, Kingston 11 in the parish of
St. Andrew. This was a cluster of several
polling divisions in the constituency, not
including polling division 57. I stopped in
the yard to speak to a large crowd. The
