(1) No referendum and
no return or statement showing the voting on any referendum shall be avoided
on account of any delay in relation to the taking of the votes of the electors
or in relation to the making of any statement or return or on account of the
absence or error of or omission by any officer which did not affect the result
of the referendum.
(2) Where any elector
was, on account of the absence or error or omission by any officer, prevented
from voting at a referendum, the Supreme Court shall not, for the purpose of
determining whether the absence or error of or omission by the officer did or
did not affect the result of the referendum, admit any evidence of the way in
which the elector intended to vote.
