possess the qualifications that entitle him to vote, has within 3 days previous to the
expiration of the time, during which the list is exhibited for inspection, to make a
request in writing to the chairman of the Elective Board to have his name placed on the
List, or demanding that the name of the other person erroneously entered on the list be
struck out, giving a brief statement of the reasons on which he bases the request.

 The objections thus made against the list are to be decided by the Elective
 Board at a public meeting, which is to be held in the course of the next 14 days, after
 the chairman has obtained, in the promptest and simplest manner, the necessary
 elucidations for deciding the objections. To this meeting must be summoned the
 person by whom the objections have been made, as well as the one to whom such
 objections refer, and to whom the chairman must send a copy of the written request.
 According to the documents produced by the parties and the depositions of the
 witnesses brought forward, together with the elucidations obtained by the chairman,
 the questions mooted are to be decided, and a brief award to be entered in the
 Election Protocol. The list after having been thus corrected, must be signed by the
 whole Elective Board.

 right of voting is denied him, can demand a copy of the award without fees, and may
 bring the matter before the Courts for judgment. Such suits, are at once to be
 prosecuted in the West India Upper Court, and the parties are exempt from all fees in
 this Court as well as in the lower Courts, when affidavits or evidence are taken in these
 latter for the elucidation of the case, and they shall also be exempt from using stamp
 paper; a lawyer must be appointed to defend the Elective Board in the suit. Should the
 party concerned obtain a judgment warranting his right of voting, his name shall be
 entered on the list, on his presenting a copy of the judgment.

it must be observed that those persons whose names appear on the Supplemental
Lists ( 23) are only entitled to vote provided they, previous to the day on which the
election is held, have attained the requisite qualifications as regards age and
residence in the islands as well as in the district.
