Justice Collin Makail, when dealing with a number of election-related matters, said most candidates overlook section 153 (a) of the Organic Law on National and Local Level Government elections when disputing ballot boxes during counting.
He told parties involved in two matters disputing ballot boxes in counting in the Hela regional seat, from Koroba-Lake Kopiago area, and the Lae Open seats, to go back, consult the respective returning officers and object the use of the disputed ballot boxes.
