ISLAMABAD – Divided electoral reforms, use of electronic voting machines (EVMs) and i-voting are huge challenges. The Election Commission considers this election process to be against transparency and fairness.
The use of EVMs and i-voting for the forthcoming general elections will be trampled underfoot by the constitution, but it will be a difficult test to make it a reality and a practical form. The Election Commission itself vehemently opposed these provisions and There are also credible reasons.
It is the responsibility of the Election Commission to implement any election law passed by Parliament. It is very important that when the next general elections are held, the present government will not be in power at that time, the general elections will be held under the supervision of the caretaker government.
The second challenge will be the use of EVMs, which are considered evil machines. The issue of i-voting can also arise if challenged in the Supreme Court.
The court will naturally ask the ECP for its position. Opposition parties have said they will challenge the legislation in court. The Election Commission is unlikely to back down.
