The court case challenging Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's February election victory, which gave him a fifth term, has started in the capital, Kampala.
Lawyers for losing opposition candidate Amama Mbabazi have been presenting their case.
First on the witness stand was Badru Kiggundu, chairman of the Electoral Commission.
The central line of questioning from Mr Mbabazi's lawyers was what evidence he used to announce results of Mr Museveni's win.
Mr Kiggundu admitted he didn't know how many verified voters there were. This is because the biometric system did not tally the exact number of people who used it.
He added that some people voted without going through the biometric checks but couldn't specify how many.
At several points, lawyers for the Electoral Commission questioned the authenticity of the documents Mr Mbabazi's lawyers presented.
Both sides are expected to present their cases by Saturday after which the nine judges will make a ruling. The constitution says a decision must be made by 31 March.
