ISSAC B ROLAND VERSUS JOSRPH ALLISON AND AUSTIN B TAYLOR (11/28/2023)

This case is before us on appeal taken from the Ruling of the Board of Commissioners (BOC) of the National Elections Commission (NEC) wherein the Board of Commissioners confirmed the Ruling of the Hearing Officer of the NEC dismissing the complaint filed before the NEC by the Appellant herein. In his complaint, filed on October 13, 2023 before the Electoral Magistrate for Maryland County, the appellant, a candidate fielded under the ticket of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), raised a single act of irregularity by the NEC staff stationed at the polling centers, that is, that his poll watchers were asked out of six vote counting facilities, thus depriving them of access to the vote counting process at those centers and the right to participate in the process. He therefore requested that there be a recount at the six centers named in his complaint. For the benefit of this Opinion and the determination of the correctness or error allegedly made by the Board of Commissioners in confirming the Ruling of the Hearing Officer, we quote the appellant’s complaint in its entirety verbatim, as follows:
