Its true that with the advent of computerized ID cards and pictured voter lists, conventional rigging has been curbed to a large extent. However, there are still reports of rigging going on in new ways.
Ballot boxes and polling station staff not made available to a bunch of constituencies, and law and order is not the reason. NA 250, Defence is one of those areas. Media smells conspiracy.
Firing at various constituencies in order to suspend polling, and scare off voters.
Scare tactics. Saad Rafique forced polling to stop at one polling station in Lahore. No valid reason provided. Majority voters at the station were PTI supporters.
Polling stations ‘running out’ of ballot papers at various venues.
Any more new rigging methods seen? Please add them to the list.
It is obvious that the idea is to keep the turn out low. And everyone knows who benefits from a high turnout…Pakistan!
Na11, na93, na125 and na 250 all reporting instances of rigging. Massive rigging seems to be on in na 250. I think the polling in this constituency needs to be postponed.
Respect for NA 250 & 253. People are out there since 5 hours and not refusing to budge without voting! no presiding officers or ballot boxes yet in major areas.
Entire social media abuzz with voters in Karachi complaining about MQM goons preventing polling...and Farooq Sattar launches a press conference as a pre-emptive defense, claiming they are being robbed of their mandate. Really?
^^ pagal bana Rahay hain - MQM workers were inside our polling station - they have their supporters in ECP ! But I can sense the panic among them , as majority of voters at our polling station were casting their voteS for either PTI or jamat -e- islami !
What are these MQM rats upto? Who do these fascists think they are fooling: blatant rigging going on in Karachi, cable turned off in many areas of Karachi, polling camps are blocked, its midday and no single vote has been cast in NA 250/52 and 15 more constituencies.
The goons who openly moan about feudalism think Karachi is their baap ki jageer. How is their bhahi giri any better than wadera culture? MQM supporters answer this...
Election comission increased time for those polling stations tht started polling late, good thing is ppl are not leaving they are saying, vote dal kr he jai gay, geo anchor said tabdeeli a gai hai
