ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has said KP LG polls have again shown the problem of rejected votes due to double stamping.
In a tweet on Wednesday, PM Imran said the same problem was highlighted in the Judicial Commission report on General Elections 2013.
He said the ability to manipulate elections through getting opponent votes rejected is one of the reasons the status quo is opposing Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).
