Attorney: Limited legal options for voters left off register

Voters who were unable to cast their ballots because their names were missing from the official register face limited legal options after the election, according to Senior Counsel Garth Patterson.

The attorney yesterday said that while remedies do exist, they were often difficult to pursue unless there is strong evidence of widespread or deliberate wrongdoing.

“If your name was left off the voters’ list and you were unable to vote, your options after the election are limited but not entirely closed.
