>PHILIPSBURG:--- The board of the United People's Party (
UP) says the Judge did not throw out the case initiated by the United People's (
UP) Party with respect to obtaining a copy of the voter's registry which has been common practice in the past. The Judge ruled the case inadmissible due to a semantic error where it should have been against country Sint Maarten and not the Government, and therefore it is not perceived as a loss.
The
UP will resubmit the case to the Courts soonest after the correction has been made.
The UP Party presented a case with respect to the constitutional voting rights of the people.
You have cases where persons have been stricken from the voter's registry, and you have numerous cases currently in court where the individuals are fighting to have their voting rights restored so they can exercise their right to vote on Friday, August 29.
