National Complaints Bureau investigating 181 complaints concerning council elections
19 Jan 2014, 5:39 PM
A total of 181 complaints were submitted to the independent National Complaints Bureau concerning yesterday’s local council elections.
Bureau Chief Ali Azim informed the press yesterday that none of the issues raised could have a material effect on the outcome of any local council contest.
“Of the 181 complaints submitted so far, we have not identified any that could impact the outcome. But we are looking into it,” he said.
The most common complaint concerned the Elections Commission’s (EC’s) decision to display national identity card photos in the voter lists placed outside polling stations, Azim said.
