The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has constituted ‘Post Election Review Working Groups’ to examine anomalies occurred during the July 25 general elections.
The ECP has formed at least 13 working groups tasked with different assignments including delimitations, preparations of electoral lists and enlistment of political parties.
The working groups will also examine anomalies in allotment of electoral symbols, deployment and training of election staff, constitution of polling stations, printing and dispatchment of ballot papers, malfunctioning of result transmission system (RTS), monitoring of elections, formation of appellate tribunals and security for overall elections.
The groups will also give suggestions for better management of the next general elections. The ECP had received a number of complaints on the Election Day, with ones related to RTS on the top.
RTS is an android application which enabled election officers to send the results to the ECP in real time, but the app malfunctioned soon after it was made functional by the ECP on the Election Day.
