Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) The Court shall
inquire whether or not the requisites of section 158 have been observed, and,
so far as the voting is concerned, may inquire into the identity of persons,
and whether their votes were improperly admitted or rejected, and whether the
result of the polling was correctly ascertained, but the Court shall deem the
roll conclusive evidence that the persons enrolled were, at the date of the
completion of the roll, entitled to be enrolled.
(2) The qualification
of any person enrolled shall not be questioned; and no election shall be
declared void on the ground that any person whose name appears on the roll for
the whole of State electorate or a district, and who has voted as an elector
for that electorate or district, was not qualified to be enrolled or to
continue enrolled as an elector for that electorate or district.
