ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran on Saturday directed Senator Azam Swati to get forensic report on the Results Transmission System (RTS) failure before publication of the report.
He said this in a meeting with Senator Azam Swati in Islamabad after Azam Swati presented a report to the prime minister about failure of the RTS during the general elections 2018 on July 25.
The senator also briefed him about working of Ministry of Science and Technology.
The RTS is an android application which enables election officers to send the results to the ECP in real time.
Nadra teams had to go to the offices of Returning Officers to activate the RTS software, and according to the ECP, the RTS software was installed in the smartphones of all Presiding Officers (PO) who were able to transmit Form 45 (containing tabulated results of the polling station) via their phone to the ECP on election day.
