The Election Commission of Pakistan has termed reports circulating on social media showing the number of postal ballots of jail inmates by various candidates as baseless and misleading, state-run Radio Pakistan reports.
In a statement, the electoral watchdog clarified that Returning Officers open and count postal ballots in their respective constituencies in front of the candidates and their polling agents during the consolidation process. The ballot papers are later included in the final results.
The ECP urged people to not pay any attention to such misleading news.
