252. Checking of closing time for reception of nomination papers—There is
no requirement in the electoral law that there should be an official clock at
the polling station for the purpose of checking the opening and closing time
for the reception of nomination papers.
Where the decision of the returning officer to reject a nomination paper on
the ground that it has been presented after closing time is challenged before
the Court, all the Court has to be satisfied about is that the returning officer
had a proper and reliable way of checking the time for the purposes of receiving the nomination papers. Roheeman v Returning Officer of the Constituency of Vacoas-Floreal (1976).
