The system designed for tabulation and compilation of election results, successfully completed all the required steps and goals, the ECP said.

According to ECP spokesman Syed Nadeem Haider, returning officers of 859 constituencies across the country participated in the experimental exercise of EMS and the system’s eligibility was tested both online and off­line and was found to be satisfactory in all respects.
