In the constituency of NA-125 in Lahore, there are reports emerging of a breach of the Election Commission’s Code of Conduct. Concerns have been raised regarding incidents in Raiwind where voters were observed taking photographs with their mobile phones after casting their votes.
Specifically, citizens were capturing images of their ballot papers, a practice strictly prohibited by the Election Commission. It is crucial to highlight that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) explicitly prohibited the possession of mobile phones within polling stations to safeguard the integrity and confidentiality of the voting process.
This violation of the Code of Conduct has sparked apprehensions about the credibility of the electoral process in NA-125. Such occurrences undermine the principles of fair and transparent elections that the Election Commission strives to uphold.
Authorities are anticipated to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter and implement necessary measures to ensure adherence to electoral regulations, thereby preserving the integrity of the democratic process.
