Introduction<strong>FAFEN</strong> <strong>Election</strong> Anniversary Publications<strong>FAFEN</strong> offers two new publications on the one-year anniversary of the February 18, 2008,Pakistan General <strong>Election</strong>s. The first publication – <strong>Election</strong> Day Process <strong>Analysis</strong> – presentsdata and analysis not previously available, based on qualitative observation checklists frommore than 18,000 <strong>FAFEN</strong> <strong>Election</strong> Day observers. <strong>FAFEN</strong> observers filled out a set of detailedchecklists about the opening of the polls, the voting process, the closing of the polls, the ballotcounting process, and the consolidation of election results. <strong>FAFEN</strong>’s <strong>Election</strong> Day observation datais presented in full, along with additional summary findings and recommendations. The secondpublication – Elecetion <strong>Results</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong> – consolidates all <strong>FAFEN</strong> Parallel Vote Tabulation (PVT)results for 242 National Assembly constituencies. These new publications are intended to contributeto the ongoing process of the <strong>Election</strong> Commission of Pakistan’s Electoral Reforms Committeetowards comprehensive reform of the Pakistan electoral system. <strong>FAFEN</strong>’s recommendations areoffered in a spirit of cooperation and shared goals.About <strong>FAFEN</strong>The Free and Fair <strong>Election</strong> Network (<strong>FAFEN</strong>) was established in 2006 as a coalition of 30 leadingcivil society organizations in Pakistan with the primary objective to mobilize voters and observe thegeneral elections that took place in February 2008.Since its inception, <strong>FAFEN</strong> has had many successes. The impact of its work on the process andconduct of elections has been acknowledged by political parties, the <strong>Election</strong> Commission ofPakistan, international observer groups, and domestic and international media. For example:“In terms of reporting on and affecting changes in electoral administration and being coordinated,(<strong>FAFEN</strong>) domestic observation was more effective than international observation. … It was probablythe most effective and efficient activity supported by the donors … (and) should be studied furtheras best practice.” – Joint Donor Evaluation of Pakistan Electoral Assistance 2006-2008 (August2008)“<strong>FAFEN</strong> produced valuable election related information throughout the election period as well asa strong set of recommendations for election reform. Their parallel vote tabulation (PVT) effort wasparticularly impressive as they were able to have election monitors in 8,000 polling places throughoutthe day.” -- Joint Donor Evaluation of Pakistan Electoral Assistance 2006-2008 (August 2008)“The <strong>FAFEN</strong> observation reports show high quality of quantitative analysis based on both access todata from a statistically significant range of constituencies and a sound methodology.” – EuropeanUnion <strong>Election</strong> Observation Mission (EU EOM) Final Report (April 2008)What started out in 2006 as a loose network of civil society organizations was registered in 2008as a legal entity under the name of Trust for Democratic Education and Accountability, which nowmanages <strong>FAFEN</strong>.

Summary of <strong>FAFEN</strong> <strong>Election</strong> ObservationMethodology and FindingsPART I: VOTERS’ LIST AUDIT & OBSERVATION OF DISPLAY PERIODA. MethodologyFrom June 13 to July 18, 2007, <strong>FAFEN</strong> conducted Pakistan’s first statistically valid audit of the DraftElectoral Roll (2007). <strong>FAFEN</strong> conducted a List-to-People and People-to-List audit in electoral areascovered by 506 randomly selected Display Centers throughout the country - a methodology thathas been tried and tested in many other countries. These Display Centers were selected in 500randomly chosen Union Councils according to proportion of population of each province.In addition, <strong>FAFEN</strong> observed the quality of processes implemented by the <strong>Election</strong> Commissionof Pakistan (ECP) Display Center Information Officers (DCIOs) in order to analyze their fairness,neutrality, and transparency, based on the ECP’s Manual of Instruction. <strong>FAFEN</strong>’s qualitativeobservation was conducted at about 21,000 (out of 45,000) Display Centers. Additionally, morethan 3,000 DCIOs and 25,400 people visiting the Display Centers were interviewed to gauge theirperceptions about the processes inside the centers.Introduction<strong>FAFEN</strong> also studied the activities of political parties and civil society organizations during theDisplay Period to analyze their level of interest in the process at more than 5,500 locations ofthe four provinces. A total of 754 <strong>FAFEN</strong> static and mobile observers, duly trained for their multifacetedtasks, were employed to carry out this research.B. Key Findings<strong>FAFEN</strong>’s key findings with regard to the accuracy and completeness of the 2007 Draft ElectoralRoll were as follows:1. A Quarter of Households were Not RegisteredAlmost 27 percent of households in the electoral areas covered were found to be not registered inthe draft electoral roll. The highest number of unregistered households was found in NWFP at 45.53percent. This was followed by Balochistan, with 41.22 percent; Islamabad at 37.5 percent; Punjabwith 23.36 percent, and Sindh at 16.73 percent. The data extrapolation leads to an alarmingly highnumber of unregistered households in the country – around 5.3 million, basing on the nationalfigure of a total of 19,849,770 households given by the ECP.2. More Women than Men were UnregisteredThe number of women not registered on the draft electoral rolls was much higher than the numberof unregistered men throughout the country. However, there remained a high number of peoplewho have not been registered on the electoral rolls, irrespective of their sex. The highest number ofunregistered women was found in NWFP, at almost 50%. This percentage was followed by Sindh,Punjab, and Islamabad. These women might not have been registered due to social obstacles towomen’s political participation and the fact that many women lack CNICs.3. Registered Households had Unregistered MembersUnregistered people, both males and females, were scattered all over the country and were part ofhouseholds that had some members registered on the electoral roll. The finding was establishedby both List-to-People and People-to-List audits. Out of a total of 7,094 households checked duringthe List-to-People audit, only 3,875 (54.62 percent) of households were found to have the exactnumber of males as were on the list, while 2,847 (40.13 percent) of households had the exactnumber of females as were on the list.4. The 2007 Electoral Roll was Largely Free of Entry-Level ErrorsThe two audits took into account the issue of the accuracy of the 2007 draft electoral roll with regardto the entries of names, addresses, and CNIC numbers of voters. The audit established that thisPakistan General <strong>Election</strong>s 2008: <strong>Election</strong> <strong>Results</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong> 9


Introductionnew roll was largely free of the entry-level errors. More than 97 percent of respondents whosedetails were cross-checked were found to be accurate. The List-to-People and the People-to-Listaudit generated similar data regarding the accuracy of the electoral roll.PART II: PRE-ELECTION OBSERVATIONA. Methodology<strong>FAFEN</strong> designed a long-term pre-election observation strategy involving one Observer DistrictCoordinator (ODC) in each district, complemented by additional Constituency Coordinators (CCs)in districts with more than one National Assembly constituency. In total, <strong>FAFEN</strong> member CSOshired 264 ODCs and CCs, covering all but eight constituencies in eight FATA Agencies. Each<strong>FAFEN</strong> ODC functioned as a CC for the National Assembly (NA) constituency in their district andhad overall management responsibility for their district, including supervision of any additional CCsand all <strong>Election</strong> Day observers.<strong>FAFEN</strong> provided four rounds of training for ODCs and CCs. Training sessions took place in ninelocations across Pakistan. Observer District Coordinators were trained in September 2007 (in fiveclusters), November 2007 (in 11 clusters), in December 2007 (in 13 clusters) and in January 2008(in 12 clusters), for a total of 41 training sessions in nine cities.ODCs and CCs submitted comprehensive, standardized checklists each week to the <strong>FAFEN</strong>Secretariat/Data Center covering a wide range of election preparation and campaign issues.<strong>FAFEN</strong>’s aim was to design these checklists so that they would capture quantifiable information– rather than only anecdotes – that could be tabulated weekly. Approximately 120 ODCs and 140additional CCs sent weekly reports to <strong>FAFEN</strong> during a 15-week period to the <strong>FAFEN</strong> Secretariatbased in Islamabad, which used this information to raise pertinent issues with various stakeholderswith a view to improving the quality of electoral processes.In early November, <strong>FAFEN</strong> began publishing 19 “<strong>FAFEN</strong> <strong>Election</strong> Updates” based on the reportsby ODCs and CCs around the country. In addition to these data-driven Updates, <strong>FAFEN</strong> published“Missing and Duplicate Voters on Final Electoral Roll (FER),” February 13, 2008, providingconclusions of a <strong>FAFEN</strong> follow-up audit of the combined 2007 FER and the 2002 SupplementalElectoral Roll. This secondary audit was based on data from <strong>FAFEN</strong>’s 2007 statistical “people-tolist”and “list-to-people” field audit of the Draft Electoral Roll as well as subsequent analysis forsubmission of an amicus brief to the Supreme Court on the same topic and continuous monitoringand advocacy about the development of the 2008 Final Electoral Roll.B. Key Findings<strong>FAFEN</strong> reached the following key conclusions based on its long-term observation of the electoralprocess from October 2007 to February 2008:1. <strong>Election</strong> Administration1.1 Copies of the Final Electoral Rolls (FER) and polling station lists (“polling schemes”) werenot consistently distributed to district and constituency election officials and were not madeavailable to election stakeholders until very late in the election calendar.1.2 Many Assistant <strong>Election</strong> Commissioners (AECs), District Returning Officers (DROs), and ROsrepeatedly received unclear instructions from the ECP. They also received training from the ECPvery late in the election process. Some of these officials were unwilling to meet with or respondto election observers and other stakeholders. Many DROs, in particular, were not aware of orwere resistant to their election-related responsibilities, such as accrediting election observers.1.3 ECP officials at the district and constituency levels were not consistently aware of electioncomplaint procedures or mechanisms for tracking and enforcement of the Code of Conduct forPolitical Parties and Contesting Candidates or election spending limits for candidates. Theseofficials often took no action to enforce the Code of Conduct.10 Pakistan General <strong>Election</strong>s 2008: <strong>Election</strong> <strong>Results</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong>


1.4 AECs, DROs, and ROs were transferred and replaced after the announcement of the electionschedule in number of constituencies.2. Role of Local Government Officials2.1 Despite the provisions of the Local Government Ordinance 2000 as well as the spirit of the ECPCode of Conduct for Political Parties and Contesting Candidates for General <strong>Election</strong>s 2008(Article 1(17)) and Section 83 of the Representation of the People Act 1976), Nazims at all threetiers supported candidates or parties in many constituencies in advance of the elections.Introduction2.2 Nazims and other district and local government officials supported parties and candidatesby urging voters to vote for them, attending their rallies, and allowing use of official resourcessuch as use of official cars and premises. <strong>FAFEN</strong> observers reported that political partycandidates mobilized support through Union Nazims in more than 30% of the constituencieswhere candidate strategies were observed, except for PML-Q candidates, who did so in 72%of constituencies where their candidates were observed.2.3 Police in many constituencies acted in favor of candidates affiliated to the former ruling party byproviding protocol and extra-ordinary security to candidates and by attending rallies or puttingup campaign materials of some candidates.3. Political Parties and Candidates3.1 Despite the ban on announcing new development schemes after the announcement ofthe election schedule, in more than 50% of constituencies, candidates were committing toundertake specific projects if they won the seat, and local government officials were speedingthe completion of development projects or initiating new projects. Some political parties andindependent candidates were inducing voters through payments or promises of payments orother reward.3.2 Other violations of the Code of Conduct included advertising on public and private buildings,intimidating local printing presses, using abusive language against rivals, inciting sectarian (orcultural/regional) sentiments, destruction of property, discouraging women from voting, andviolating size limits for billboards and other signs and materials.Pakistan General <strong>Election</strong>s 2008: <strong>Election</strong> <strong>Results</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong> 11


Introduction3.3 All major political parties’ candidates were found to be mobilizing voters through the influence ofbiradari leaders or through appeals to biradari affiliations in more than 68% of the constituencieswhere campaign strategies were observed. Some parties were mobilizing voters throughappeals to ethnic affiliations or religious themes and affiliations.3.4 The political parties that boycotted the polls were actively campaigning for the boycott andsome were intimidating voters into boycotting. The boycotting parties also interfered in votereducation programs.4. Intimidation and Violence4.1 Candidates were observed in many constituencies intimidating voters – primarily voters whoare dependent for their livelihoods on landowners, employers, or others – in order to gainsupport.4.2 Police were observed harassing candidates and/or workers of certain political parties bythreatening to register cases against them. Police also asked supporters and candidates ofcertain political parties to stop campaigning. District police often refused to authorize ralliesand public meetings of candidates of some parties on one pretext or another.4.3 During the first ten days of February, <strong>FAFEN</strong>’s media monitoring project noted 46 separateincidents involving either violence or accusations about violence and fraud. The most deadlyincidents reported in the media from February 1-10 occurred in Punjab, where 32 people werekilled in election-related violence, followed by NWFP with 25 deaths.PART III: ELECTION DAY OBSERVATIONA. Methodology<strong>FAFEN</strong> observed the February 18, 2008 Pakistan General <strong>Election</strong>s in a total of 258 (out of272) National Assembly constituencies and conducted a Parallel Vote Tabulation (PVT) in 256constituencies. A total of 18,829 <strong>FAFEN</strong> Polling Station Observers (PSOs) and Mobile Observers(MOs) nationwide monitored the elections throughout <strong>Election</strong> Day. Pairs of PSOs observed eventsall day in approximately 7,100 polling stations. MOs made shorter visits to as many as 14,500 pollingstations across the country. <strong>FAFEN</strong>’s coverage represents a statistically-valid random selection ofabout 12% of polling stations in each constituency and nationwide.12 Pakistan General <strong>Election</strong>s 2008: <strong>Election</strong> <strong>Results</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong>


IntroductionPSO and MO recruitment began in November 2007, and training by <strong>FAFEN</strong> District and ConstituencyCoordinators was scheduled for the week before <strong>Election</strong> Day. Handbooks for PSOs and MOsincluded all information needed to accomplish their duties on <strong>Election</strong> Day, such as timetables fortelephone reporting and instructions for coordinating with MOs for delivery of observation forms onelection night. A special manual was produced with information and instructions for observation ofwomen’s polling booths. All observers were also provided with either a <strong>FAFEN</strong> chador or cap.PSOs, MOs and CCs collected detailed data and qualitative information about adherence toprocedures by polling station officials and other issues at the sampled polling stations using a setof four (4) color-coded <strong>FAFEN</strong> election observation forms (checklists):<strong>FAFEN</strong> Observation Form 1: For use in male polling booths during the voting process. MOsused a separate abbreviated version of <strong>FAFEN</strong> Form #1 to record observations in each short visitto about 10 polling stations.<strong>FAFEN</strong> Observation Form 2: For use in female polling booths during the voting process.<strong>FAFEN</strong> Observation Form 3: for use during closing polling stations and counting ballots.<strong>FAFEN</strong> Observation Form 4: For copying the “Statement of the Count” with details of the ballotscounted for each candidate in a polling station. This <strong>FAFEN</strong> Form resembled the official form usedby Presiding Officers for the same purpose.<strong>FAFEN</strong> Observation Form 5: For use at the office of Returning Officer during the consolidationof poling station results.In addition to this traditional election observation methodology, <strong>FAFEN</strong> undertook the most complexPVT ever attempted. <strong>FAFEN</strong> received data from nearly 3,000 polling stations on election night —greater than any single national PVT conducted elsewhere in the world, where PVTs have beenused to assess primarily national-level races rather than 256 separate elections. In fact, <strong>FAFEN</strong>’sPVT was equivalent to conducting a PVT in 256 countries with national races.<strong>FAFEN</strong> PSOs observed the vote count at their assigned polling stations and recorded and obtaineda copy of each “Statement of the Count.” MOs helped collect and deliver these polling stationresults to <strong>FAFEN</strong> Constituency Coordinators, who compiled them onto special forms and faxedthem throughout election night and the following day to <strong>FAFEN</strong>’s headquarters in Islamabad. Asdata reached the <strong>FAFEN</strong> Secretariat and Data Center, two shifts of 20 Data Center Operatorsentered the vote counts into a national database using a verified double-data entry system.Pakistan General <strong>Election</strong>s 2008: <strong>Election</strong> <strong>Results</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong> 13


IntroductionIn total, <strong>FAFEN</strong> published the following eight (8) statements and reports during 2008 based on its<strong>Election</strong> Day observations and PVT on February 18, 2008:Preliminary Statements1. <strong>FAFEN</strong> <strong>Election</strong> Day Observation Update–1: February 18, 2008, 12:00pm., based ondata from more than 5,580 polling stations gathered by <strong>FAFEN</strong> Secretariat Call Centeroperators from 202 Constituency Coordinators on <strong>Election</strong> Day morning.2. <strong>FAFEN</strong> <strong>Election</strong> Day Observation Update–2: February 18, 2008, 8:00pm., based ondata from more than 7,800 polling stations gathered by Call Center operators at the<strong>FAFEN</strong> Secretariat.3.

Key Findings<strong>FAFEN</strong>’s <strong>Election</strong> Day key findings, published in several public reports during the first half of 2008,include the following:1. Difference in <strong>Election</strong> <strong>Results</strong> – PVT Estimate vs. ECP Result14 Pakistan General <strong>Election</strong>s 2008: <strong>Election</strong> <strong>Results</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong>


In 191 out of 246 National Assembly constituencies, the PVT estimate and ECP result are statisticallyequivalent. In 45 constituencies there is a statistically significant difference in the PVT estimate andECP result for the margin of victory of the winner or for the runner-up, but with the same winningcandidate. In ten (10) constituencies there is both a statistically significant difference betweenthe PVT estimate and the ECP result and a difference in the outcome (i.e., a different winningcandidate). The statistical differences in these constituencies do not indicate with certainty that adifferent candidate won the election. However, the differences are significant enough to be outsidethe PVT’s margin of error.2. Close Contests with Significant Problems at Polling StationsIntroductionIn at least 426 polling stations spread out in 162 constituencies out of 246 (65.9%), <strong>FAFEN</strong>’selection observation qualitative information and PVT data indicate that the contest was close andthat polling station problems were widespread and/or serious enough that they could have hadPakistan General <strong>Election</strong>s 2008: <strong>Election</strong> <strong>Results</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong> 15


Introductionan effect on the outcome of the election. These problems included polling officials, polling agents,or others stamping ballot papers; voters being openly pressured inside polling stations to choosea particular party or candidate; polling stations ‘captured’ by armed men, polling agents, or others;physical violence against voters, polling officials, polling agents, or election observers; showingand use of firearms inside polling stations; and closure of women’s polling booths.3. Voter Turnout Greater than 100%In 61 of 246 constituencies (24.8%), one or more polling stations in the sample had voter turnoutrates equal to or exceeding 100% of the number of registered voters published by the ECP theweek preceding the election. In other words, more ballots were counted in the ballot boxes in thesepolling stations than the number of voters registered to vote in the stations.4. Low Voter Turnout in Female Polling StationsThe voter turnout in all sampled female polling stations was below average compared to the voterturnout for both male and combined polling stations sampled in the constituencies. Excluding allpolling stations where turnout was 100% or more, the average national turnout was 49.9% in malepolling stations, 49.6% in combined polling stations, and 41.1% in female polling stations. Thesame holds true for provincial figures, with the exception of Balochistan where turnout in Femalepolling stations was unusually high (61.1%) – higher than the averages of both Male and Combinedpolling stations in the province. Turnout in women’s stations was lowest in FATA (10.4%) and NWFP(25.8%).The following additional key findings are offered on the one-year anniversary of the election, basedon the detailed qualitative observations of more than 18,000 <strong>FAFEN</strong> <strong>Election</strong> Day observers:5. Voting without Proper IdentificationContrary to the law, voters in more than one in five polling booths were allowed to cast ballotswithout showing required identification. In more than one-fifth of polling booths, Polling Officersdid not call out the name and number of each voter as the voter was confirmed on the electoralroll. In about one in twelve polling booths, Polling Officers did not mark off each voter’s name onthe electoral roll. In about one in every 15 polling booths, polling officials did not check the voters’thumb for indelible ink. The failure to implement these procedures opens the process to duplicateand fraudulent voting.16 Pakistan General <strong>Election</strong>s 2008: <strong>Election</strong> <strong>Results</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong>


6. Compromised Voting SecrecyIn more than one-fourth of polling booths, people followed voters behind voting secrecy screens.The election law and policy are clear that there are only two very limited circumstances in whichanyone can go behind a screen with another voter. In about one in every five polling booths, votersneeding extra assistance got help from candidate or party agents, in clear contravention of law,procedure, and best practice for democratic elections. Allowing polling agents to speak to votersfor any reason introduces an atmosphere of inappropriate influence or coercion in the pollingbooth.7. Weakly Implemented Procedures for Challenged and Tendered BallotsIn about one-third and one-fourth of polling booths, respectively, challenged and tendered ballotpapers were not kept separate from the National Assembly ballot box. Failing to follow theseprocedures means that these ballot papers were counted along with other votes. In a constituencywith a significant number of challenged or tendered ballots, this failure of procedures could have animpact on a constituency’s electoral result. The large number of duplicate and unverified entries inthe supplemental Electoral Roll (taken from the 2002 voters’ list) increased the chances of multiplevoting and voter impersonation, and therefore also the chances for challenged ballots.Introduction8. Ballot Box StuffingIn about one-third of all polling stations, ballot papers were illegally stamped by polling officials,polling agents, or others. This serious and pervasive problem was reported almost twice as oftenfrom female polling stations compared to male or combined stations. “Ballot box stuffing” is acommon accusation, leading to a loss of confidence in election results. Among the contributingfactors to an environment open to extra ballots being illegally stamped and “stuffed” in ballot boxesare: (1) unclear procedures for the distribution of ballot books among polling booths; (2) failure orweaknesses in filling out (and double-checking) ballot book accounting forms; and (3) failure tofasten ballot box seals tightly (and poor instructions and photographs in the ECP training manualson how to do so).9. Security Problems and Law Enforcement WeaknessThere were security problems in about one in every 25 polling stations. In about one out of everyten polling booths, according to observers, the polling station was “captured” and a significantnumber of voters were not permitted to vote. The election law does not specify the roles andresponsibilities of police and other security officials during elections. In addition, the election lawand regulations do not sufficiently empower Presiding Officers to implement their responsibilitiesas First Class Magistrates to enforce law and order in polling stations.10. Unauthorized Individuals in Polling StationsThere were unauthorized individuals in about one in every seven polling stations. This seriousbreach of polling station security and integrity can lead to disruption of the polling process,intimidation and/or influence of voters and/or polling officials, ballot tampering, and other electoralmalfeasance.11. Weaknesses in Ballot Counting ProceduresIn about one in every six polling stations Presiding Officers permitted non-ECP polling personnel,including candidates and polling agents, to handle ballot papers during the ballot countingprocess. In about one out of every 40 polling stations, the Presiding Officer did not put ballots foreach candidate in a separate pile, as required. In about one out of every 20 polling stations, thePresiding Officer did not count the ballots for each candidate twice, as required.Pakistan General <strong>Election</strong>s 2008: <strong>Election</strong> <strong>Results</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong> 17


Introduction12. Inconsistent Implementation of Invalid Ballot RulesIn more than one out of every six polling stations, the Presiding Officer did not reject invalid ballotsaccording to the rules defined in the election law. Polling agents in almost half of polling stationsargued that some ballots rejected as invalid should be accepted as valid. It is positive that pollingagents participated actively in the ballot counting process. However, the election law and procedureare silent on whether this participation is permitted and how Presiding Officers should handle it.13. No Statement of the Count to ObserversIn about one out of every five polling stations, the Presiding Officer did not provide accreditedelection observers with a copy of the Statement of the Count. Giving neutral observers a copy ofthe polling station “result” is not required by law or mentioned in ECP procedural handbooks, butdoing so would significantly add to the transparency of the electoral process and particularly theconsolidation of electoral results.14. Failure to Post Statement of the CountIn more than one out of every six polling stations, the Statement of the Count was not posted outsidethe polling station for public information. The problem was somewhat more common in Balochistan.This fundamental procedure should be standardized everywhere to ensure transparency to thevoting public about the election results.15. Delay in Sending Statement of the Count to Returning OfficerIn almost one out of every ten polling stations, the Presiding Officer did not send a copy of theStatement of the Count immediately to the Returning Officer, as required by law. Failure to implementthis procedure delays the vote consolidation and the announcement of the election result. Thesedelays lead to a common suspicion that election results are altered during the ballot counting and/or consolidation processes, undermining public confidence in the electoral system and electionresults.16. Inconsistent Methods of Delivering Statements of the CountThe ECP has not specified any mechanism for transporting polling station results from the PresidingOfficers to the Returning Officers for consolidation of election results. Therefore, it is not clear whois permitted to transport election results. Statements of the Count are sensitive election materialsthat should be handled with care. The ECP should know who is responsible for these polling stationresults at all times.17. Poorly Implemented Result Consolidation ProceduresIn about one-third of constituencies for which data is available, Returning Officers did not followthe basic procedure of issuing a written notice to all candidates about the consolidation of electionresults. In the same percentage of constituencies, Returning Officers did not permit accreditedelection observers to witness the result consolidation process, and candidates or their agents didnot witness the consolidation. In more than one in seven constituencies, candidates or their agentsraised objections to the postal ballot counting process.

BackgroundA Parallel Vote Tabulation (PVT) compares the observed vote count in a sample of polling stationswith the compiled election result for that constituency in order to provide evidence that confirmsor disputes the official election result. PVT methodology was developed over twenty years agoand has been applied in many countries around the world by international and domestic electionmonitoring organizations as a proven analytical method for verifying the accuracy of governmentvote counts. The PVT is based on direct observation of vote counting in a scientifically-verifiable,robust sample of the polling stations in each constituency.Experience with past PVTs has shown that drawing a sample of 25-30 polling stations providessufficient data, within a relatively small margin of sampling error, to assess the reasonableness ofofficial election results. Adding additional polling stations to the sample, even when the number oftotal polling stations is large, does not improve the margins of sampling error dramatically.The reason for this statistical principle is that a PVT works with “cluster samples” – each pollingstation “cluster” averages 1,000 registered voters, and 25 polling stations in a constituencyproduces a sample of 25,000 voters (25 polling stations x 1,000 voters each) which is much morethan statistically sufficient to permit comparisons with official results.Although the PVT cannot measure other election-related problems like vote buying, voterintimidation, ballot box stuffing, or the use of ghost polling stations, PVTs are designed to identifypotential inaccuracies in the official count by comparing it with actual observed and verified votecounts at sampled polling stations. The PVT can help detect centralized changes in vote counts ifthe percentage vote in official count differs in a statistically significant way from the percentagescalculated from the PVT sample. In cases in which election commissions release polling-stationlevel election results, PVT counts for sampled polling stations and ECP polling station data can becompared directly.PVT MethodologyB. The <strong>FAFEN</strong> PVT SampleAs part of the world’s largest PVT, almost 16,000 Polling Station Observers (PSOs) from the Freeand Fair <strong>Election</strong> Network (<strong>FAFEN</strong>) witnessed and recorded the actual vote count in a statisticallyvalidsample of 7,778 randomly- selected polling stations during the 2008 Pakistan National andProvincial Assembly <strong>Election</strong>s. The national sample of 7,778 polling stations represented almosteight million registered voters.<strong>FAFEN</strong>’s sample represented an average of 12% of polling stations in each constituency andthroughout the country. Twenty years of global experience with PVTs demonstrates that this samplesize is statistically sufficient to draw conclusions about a constituency on the basis of the sample.In addition to the vote count data for each polling station, the <strong>FAFEN</strong> observers also collecteddetailed information about the conduct of elections from the opening of the polls through thecounting of ballots.<strong>FAFEN</strong> observed the 2008 Pakistan General <strong>Election</strong>s in a total of 258 National Assemblyconstituencies and conducted a PVT in 256 constituencies. Three constituencies in Balochistanwere omitted at the last minute due to accreditation problems; in two constituencies the electionhas been delayed because of the death of a candidate; and a PVT was not conducted in 11other constituencies because of security concerns (including 8 in FATA, 2 in Swat NWFP, and 1 inBalochistan).Because the list of polling stations for 2008 was not released by the ECP until two weeks before theelection, <strong>FAFEN</strong> had to devise a more complex strategy for selecting a representative samplePakistan General <strong>Election</strong>s 2008: <strong>Election</strong> <strong>Results</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong> 19


PVT Methodologyof the more than 64,000 polling stations nationwide. To select the unprecedented large number ofpolling stations needed to conduct the PVT, <strong>FAFEN</strong> used the most recent national census (1998,Population Census Organization) to draw a Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) sample of censuslocations based on population density, a reasonable geographic analog for the concentration ofpolling station locations. Based on 1998 statistics, <strong>FAFEN</strong> estimated that there would be a minimumof about 237,000 people per constituency and designed a sample to identify about thirty pollingstations, representing 10-12% of the population, within each constituency.<strong>FAFEN</strong> Constituency Coordinators identified the polling station(s) contained in each of thesampled circles or wards selected from the census-based sampling frame. They then recruitedand trained two observers (one man and one women, wherever possible) from each area where asampled polling station was located. Coordinators also made communication and transportationarrangements weeks or months in advance to stay in touch with PSOs during <strong>Election</strong> Day and toensure that as many polling station results as possible could be collected immediately after thevote counting process.C. Challenges in PVT ImplementationThe tasks of recruiting and training more than 18,000 election observers and executing a rapidand accurate data collection system from such a large nationally distributed sample was daunting.Despite the problems encountered, <strong>FAFEN</strong> received data from nearly 3,000 polling stations onelection night — greater than any single national PVT conducted elsewhere in the world, wherePVTs have been used to assess primarily national-level races rather than 256 separate elections.In fact, <strong>FAFEN</strong>’s PVT undertaking in Pakistan is equivalent to the work of conducting a PVT in 256countries with national races.<strong>FAFEN</strong>’s 16,000 Polling Station Observers (PSOs) observed the vote count at their assignedpolling stations and recorded and obtained a copy of each “Statement of the Count.” Almost3,000 additional Mobile Observers (MOs) helped collect and deliver these polling station resultsto <strong>FAFEN</strong> Constituency Coordinators, who compiled them onto special forms and faxed themthroughout election night and the following day to <strong>FAFEN</strong>’s headquarters in Islamabad. As datareached the <strong>FAFEN</strong> Secretariat and Data Center, two shifts of 20 Data Center Operators enteredthe vote counts into a national database using a verified double-data entry system.For any given constituency, the data must be near-perfect, which necessitates collecting a very highpercentage of the sample and checking the numbers sent on election night against the long formsfilled out by the PSOs at each polling station. In addition to collecting the quantitative count data,PSOs collected detailed data and qualitative narratives about problems at the sampled pollingstations, the numbers of male and female voters, and adherence to procedures by polling stationofficials. Four color-coded forms for each polling station containing these detailed reports arrivedby courier in the first few days following the election and continue to be compiled to supplementthe quantitative vote count and turnout data.Communications and transportation obstacles prevented many of the polling station countsfrom reaching the Islamabad Data Center in as timely a manner as was planned. Data collectionwas further complicated by unannounced changes in the number of polling stations and theirlocations. Last minute changes of candidates from independent to party status required databaseprogramming changes. Failures of some fax transmissions and intermittent trunk (landline)telephone line blockages added time to the data collection process.In addition, unusually high turnout and almost 100% of votes going to one candidate in some pollingstations mean that there is dramatic deviation in many sampled polling stations from the averageturnout and/or vote percentage for the constituency as a whole, patterns that may reflect highlylocalizedbloc-voting or, perhaps, “captured” polling stations. Such patterns can compromise thestatistical power of the PVT sample, but are nevertheless important evidence of voting patterns thatdeviate from “normal” election results.20 Pakistan General <strong>Election</strong>s 2008: <strong>Election</strong> <strong>Results</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong>


D. How to Read PVT DataThe following information will help understand the constituency-wise result analysisbased on PVT data. Each constituency page includes information about the pre-electionprocess, a comparison of PVT estimate and the ECP result, and turnout and candidatewisebreakup of polled votes in the sampled polling stations.Abbreviations & Definitions• PSO: <strong>FAFEN</strong> Polling Station Observer• ECP: <strong>Election</strong> Commission of Pakistan• ME: Margin of Sampling Error• SE: Standard Error• PVT: Parallel Vote Tabulation• PVT Estimate: Calculation of ratio of votes for Party A out of total valid votes polled for aconstituency (based on sample size and variance across polling stations)• “Sample: X of Y Polling Stations”: The PVT process selected a sample of X polling stations outof a total of Y polling stations in the entire constituency• Rejected Ballot: Term used by ECP to denote spoiled ballots – those marked twice, left blank,or otherwise making determination of voters’ vote choice impossible. High numbers cansometimes indicate fraud.• Polling Station Number: This number is generally the official ECP polling station number.However, in some cases the polling station numbers were different on the day of the electionthan they were when the PSO initially found the polling station. It is possible that in some cases,the ECP number and <strong>FAFEN</strong> PSO numbers do not match.PVT MethodologyInterpretation of the PVT <strong>Results</strong>•The cover page for each constituency indicates whether the PVT estimateFOR EACH PARTY, based on a representative sample of all polling stations, isstatistically equivalent to the UNOFFICIAL ECP result FOR THAT PARTY (stillavailable online on the ECP website as of March 2, 2008).•The second bullet point on the cover page gives the size of the final numberof polling stations observed in the constituency. This number may be somewhatsmaller than the planned sample size due to problems with accreditation,security, and/or inclement weather. Loss of one to two polling stations fromthe original random sample in each constituency is not noted unless (a) loss ofsample points reduced the sample below 25 polling stations, and/or (b) loss ofsample points was non-random (e.g., occurred in a particular region/area).•The third bullet point indicates whether there are anomalies in the pollingstationlevel data for the constituency, whether or not the PVT and ECP resultsare equivalent.•Additional points include information on qualitative findings from PSOs, whichare discussed in fuller detail.Pakistan General <strong>Election</strong>s 2008: <strong>Election</strong> <strong>Results</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong> 21
