156 Inquiries by Court
(1) The *Court must inquire whether or not the petition is duly signed, and so far as *Rolls, *lists of electors, lists of voters and voting are concerned may inquire into the identity of persons, and whether their votes were improperly admitted or rejected, assuming the Roll, list of electors and any list of voters who voted to be correct, but the Court must not inquire into the correctness of any Roll, list of electors or list of voters.
(2) Where the *Court makes inquiries in relation to ballot‑papers marked in *Antarctica pursuant to the provisions of Part 6, a statement of the particulars of the marking of the ballot‑papers prepared by an AEO under subsection 90(3) is, unless the Court otherwise orders, conclusive evidence of the particulars stated.
