Investigation and subsequent decisions about these polling stations were taken in response to Complaints received by the ECC during the polling and counting period. During investigation the ECC found clear and convincing evidence of fraud in the above mentioned stations. Such evidence includes indications from the ballot boxes, the forms accompanying the ballots, and the condition of the ballots themselves that the ballots were not legally cast, or were not legally counted.
In addition, the ECC orders that the IEC conduct an audit and recount of all of the remaining polling stations in Shorabak, Spin Boldak and Khakrez districts for the Presidential and Provincial Council elections in the presence of observers, candidate agents, and representatives of the ECC.
The ECC continues to investigate remaining Complaints concerning Kandahar and other provinces.
