fafen election

The number of ballot papers excluded

from the count in General Elections 2018

surpassed the number of ballots rejected

in General Elections 2013. Nearly 1.67

million ballots were excluded from the

count in GE-2018. This number may

slightly vary after the final consolidated

result is released by the Election

Commission of Pakistan (ECP) as the

ballots excluded from the count at the

polling station level by Presiding Officers

are to be reviewed by the Returning

Officers during the consolidation

proceedings, who can either reject them

or count them in favor of a candidate if

excluded wrongly.

The increase in the number of ballots

excluded from the count was a

ubiquitous phenomenon observed in all

provinces and Islamabad Capital

Territory with nearly 11.7% overall

increase. In Islamabad Capital Territory,

the number of ballots excluded from the

count are more than double the

rejected ballots in the region in GE-2013.

Around 40% increase in the number of

ballots excluded from the count was

observed in Balochistan, 30.6 % increase

in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa including

Federally Administered Tribal Areas

(FATA), 7% increase in Sindh and 6.6%

increase in Punjab.

The following table provides a

comparison of the number of rejected

National Assembly ballot papers in each

province/region during each of the past

four General Elections in 2002, 2008, 2013

and 2018. Although the rejected ballots

have consistently increase over the past

four general elections, the increase was

significantly higher in 2013 than 2008

(54.3%).

Despite legal binding on Returning

Officers to examine the ballots excluded

from the count before rejecting them, a

number of such ballots were not

inspected during GE-2013. The Judicial

Commission enquiring the GE-2013 had

also noted in its final report that many

Returning Officers (ROs) did not review

the ballots declared doubtful by the

Presiding Officers (POs) as was required

under the Representation of Peoples Act

(ROPA), 1976. Below is the excerpt from

the Commission’s report.

The RO examination of the ballots

excluded from the count by the Presiding

Officer is also pertinent in wake of the

fact that there are 169 National and

Provincial Constituencies where the

margin of victory, according to the

provisional results, is less than the number

of ballot papers excluded from the

count. (Refer to Annexure-1 for the list of

these constituencies) The Returning

Officers’ decision to reject or count these

ballots may materially affect the result of

the polls in these constituencies.

Excerpt from

Final Report of

the General

Elections-2013

Inquiry

Commission

2015 (p 218)

ROPA has many legal aspects which need to be complied

with and it is doubtful whether the POs had the necessary

training or ability to ensure that they were complied with

especially during the hectic and stressful situation on polling

day. There were instances where ROs who were fairly senior

judicial officers did not comply with the mandatory provisions

of ROPA; For example, on their own admittance failing to

open and consider rejected ballots. (PML (Q) CW 2, 3 and 6)

The margin of victory may have been high and no party may

have requested the consideration of these ballots but this was

still a legal requirement under S.39 (3) ROPA

Under Section 95(5) of the Elections Act,

2017, the Returning Officer shall recount

the ballot papers at one or more polling

stations in a constituency if a contesting

candidate requests so in writing and the

margin of victory is less than five percent

of the total votes polled in the

constituency or 10,000, whichever is less.

According to provisional results of GE-

2018, there are as many as 79 National

and 169 Provincial Assemblies’

constituencies, where the margin of

victory is less than five percent of the

total polled votes or ten thousand. Figure

1 shows region-wise and assembly-wise

distribution of these 248 constituencies.

Figure 1: NUMBER OF CONSTITUENCIES WITH MARGIN OF VICTORY

LESS THAN 5% OF POLLED VOTES OR 10,000

The ballots excluded from the count

surpassed the margin of victory in 49

(18.1%) of 270 National Assembly (NA)

constituencies where elections were

held. Among these NA constituencies, 26

are in Punjab, 11 in Sindh, six each in

Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Similarly, the number of ballots excluded

from the count exceeded the margin of

victory in 120 (21%) of 570 Provincial

Assembly (PA) constituencies where

elections were held. Of these 120 PA

constituencies, 58 are in Punjab, 24 in

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 22 in Sindh and 16

in Balochistan Assembly. Figure 2 shows

the region-wise and assembly-wise

distribution of these 169 constituencies.

Among 49 NA constituencies with higher

number of excluded ballots than margin

of victory, as many as 21 were won by

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)

candidates, 11 by Pakistan Muslim

League – Nawaz (PMLN), six by Pakistan

People’s Party Parliamentarians (PPPP),

three by Balochistan Awami Party (BAP),

two by Grand Democratic Alliance

(GDA), and one each by Muttahida

Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), Awami National

Party (ANP), Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP)

and Pakistan Muslim League (PML). Two

independent candidates were also

returned in such constituencies.

Similarly, among 58 constituencies of

Punjab Assembly witnessing the similar

phenomenon, PML-N won 26 seats, PTI

23, PPPP two, and PML one. The

remaining six constituencies were won by

independents.

In KP Assembly’s 24 constituencies with

the number of excluded ballots greater

than the margin of victory, 11 were

bagged by PTI, seven by MMA, two each

by PMLN and PPPP and one by ANP. An

independent candidate also claimed

one such seat.

Similarly, in Sindh Assembly’s 22

constituencies with a similar situation,

nine have been claimed by PPPP, six by

GDA, four by PTI, two by MQM and one

by MMA. In Balochistan’s 16 such

constituencies, six were won by BAP,

followed by three constituencies each

won by PTI and MMA and one each by

PMLN and Pashtoonkhwa Milli Awami

Party (PkMAP). Two independent

candidates in Balochistan won such

seats.

Unofficial information suggests that the

ECP has allowed recounting on 54 – 21

National Assembly’s and 33 Provincial

Assemblies’ – constituencies. Unlike the

pre-election period, the availability of

critical election information on the ECP

website has reduced in post-election

phase and no official notification of such

count is available on the website. FAFEN

observation reveals that the recount of

votes was done or is under-way on 12

such constituencies where the number of

ballots excluded from the count is

greater than the margin of victory.

Free and Fair Election Network (FAFEN)

has contacted the second-place

candidates in the relevant 50 NA

constituencies, and eight of those

candidates provided information about

vote recounting. Recounting of votes

was underway or complete in four of the

constituencies (NA-74 Sialkot-III, NA-100

Chiniot-II, NA-230 Badin-II and NA-248

Karachi West-I), including three

constituencies in which the second-

place candidates are from PTI and one

constituency where a PPPP candidate is

in second-place. The second-place

candidate (GDA) in NA-215 Sanghar-I

did not request a recounting of votes.

The RO has declined candidates’

requests to recount votes in three

constituencies (NA-114 Jhang-I, NA-140

Kasur-IV and NA-204 Ghotki-I). In the first

of these constituencies, the RO originally

agreed to recount and later rescinded

the decision, according to the

interviewed candidate. In the second

listed constituency the RO stated that the

candidate failed to provide in his

recount application the names and

numbers of the relevant polling stations.

The RO in the third constituency did not

give a reason for refusing to conduct a

recount.

The Elections Act, 2017 provides for utmost care in dealing with the result of

constituencies where a close contest takes place. The law also provides additional

powers to ECP to deal with ballots excluded from the count.

Section 95(2) of the Elections Act, 2017 states: “Before consolidating the Results of the

Count, the Returning Officer shall examine the ballot papers excluded from the count

by the Presiding Officer and, if he/she finds that any such ballot paper should not have

been so excluded, count it as a ballot paper cast in favour of the contesting

candidate for whom the vote has been cast.”

In addition, Section 95(5) of the Elections Act, 2017 reads: “Before commencement of

the consolidation proceedings, the Returning Officer shall recount the ballot papers

of one or more polling stations if a request or challenge in writing is made by a

contesting candidate or his election agent and the margin of victory is less than five

percent of the total votes polled in the constituency or ten thousand votes, whichever

is less, or the Returning Officer considers such request as not unreasonable.”

Section 8 (b) of the Act relates to the “Power of Commission to ensure fair election”

specifically mentions the issue of rejected votes in describing the absolute power of

ECP to intervene in cases of controversy. This section of the law states that the

Commission may “review an order passed by an officer under this Act or the Rules,

including rejection of a ballot paper.” Section 8(c) reinforces the general authority of

the Commission to “issue such instructions, exercise such powers and make such

consequential orders as may in its opinion, be necessary for ensuring that an election

is conducted honestly, justly, fairly and in accordance with the provisions of this Act

and the Rules.”
