ISLAMABAD, May 22: The Free and Fair Election Network (Fafen) has announced that it will launch a nationwide campaign to demand the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to release polling station and constituency data.

Fafen released on Wednesday its observation about the recent general elections ‘Key findings and recommendations’ which called for more transparency in finalisation of election results.

Its other recommendation was related to resolution of election result disputes, which has to be time-sensitive, much more transparent and efficient.

Fafen lauded the ECP’s plan about appointing retired judges to head election tribunals because they would be able to concentrate exclusively on the time-sensitive election result petitions.

Such petitions should be disposed of within 120 days under the law. Fafen asked the ECP to publicise procedures to address petitions related to election-day complaints and post-election results.—Reporter
