Annotations
JUDICIAL DECISIONS Editor’s notes. - In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, decisions under former Code 1933, § 34-1202 are included in the annotations for this Code section. Failure to take oath not ground for relief in equity. - A complaint that an election manager failed to take the re-
quired oath shows a mere irregularity; and, where it was not alleged that this in any wise affected the result of the election, it would not therefore be a ground for relief in equity. Hughes v. Griner, 208 Ga. 47, 65 S.E.2d 24, 1951 Ga. LEXIS 535 (1951) (decided under former Code 1933, § 34-1202).
