ECP Code Violations Continued through End of Campaign Period
This report is based on data reported by Constituency Long-Term Observers (CLTOs) of the Free and Fair Election Network (FAFEN) from March 24 to 29, 2013. Almost 400 pre-election observers have been deployed in all districts and National Assembly constituencies across the country. They record government postings and transfers, among other themes, that may influence the General Election 2013.
FAFEN observers recorded 20 cases of postings and transfers made in nine (9) districts during the reporting period. Four cases of postings and transfers were noted in four (4) districts in Punjab, three (3) in Sindh and one each in Balochistan and the Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA).
The postings and transfers were recorded in police, judiciary, education department and other government offices. The highest number of cases was observed in the police department, with 12 officials changed, including 11 Station House Officers (SHOs) in Punjab.
Police have significant responsibilities during the campaign period and on Election Day. Their last-minute postings and transfers can influence the fairness, transparency, and outcome of the elections.
