EU 2013 Pakistan Election Observation Mission (report)fatanews
ISLAMABAD: The European Union’s Election Observer Mission, in its final report, has said the May 11 polls were much more free and fair than previous elections in the country. It cautioned, however, that not implementing certain legal provisions has left future elections vulnerable to malpractice.
Released at a news conference on Wednesday, the findings of the EU observer mission concluded that despite escalating militant attacks and procedural shortcomings, the May 11 electoral process progressed with a high level of competition, a marked increase in voter participation and overall acceptance of the outcome.
Speaking to reporters, Chief Observer Michael Gahler, however, noted that fundamental problems remain with the legal framework and the implementation of certain provisions.
“Now is the time for the new Parliament, the Election Commission and other stakeholders to demonstrate their commitment to a democratic Pakistan. Legislation can be further developed and every by-election as well as local election is an opportunity for implementing improved practices,” he added.
The 140-member EU observer mission formulated 50 recommendations to help ensure better transparency in future elections. Of these seven require constitutional changes and 17 require changes in the primary legislation, according to Gahler.
The EU observer mission suggested the formation of a special parliamentary committee on elections to review related legislation within a framework of international law commitments. Key issues to address in this regard include candidacy criteria, transparency requirements and mechanisms for effective remedy.
It also recommended that the Election Commission of Pakistan should take full responsibility for the administration of the elections. The commission must fully implement its five-year strategic plan as well, the EU mission noted in its report.
It proposed that ECP should establish a clear regulatory framework for all aspects of the election, including results management, observation and scrutiny, and complaints. The commission should also review and develop procedures to increase checks in the polling and results process, and develop practices to improve the quality of the completed results forms, the report maintained.
The EU observer mission also asked ECP to introduce strong transparency measures, including making all notifications, decisions and election related information immediately and easily available to the public.
“All polling and results information should swiftly be made available to the public on the ECP website.”
It also suggested that the legal framework for media be revised so that it fully supports editorial independence and eliminates opportunities for censorship.

This is the fifth edition of the I·CONnect-Clough Center Global Review of Constitutional Law. This 2020 Global Review assembles detailed but relatively brief reports on constitutional developments and cases in 63 jurisdictions during the past calendar year. The reports are authored by academic and/or judicial experts, and often the reports are co-authored by judges and scholars. The reports in this first-of-its-kind volume offer readers systematic knowledge that, previously, has been limited mainly to local networks rather than a broader readership. By making this information available to the larger field of public law in an easily digestible format, we aim to increase the base of knowledge upon which scholars and judges can draw. We expect to repeat the project every year with new annual reports, and we hope over time that coverage will grow to an even wider range of countries. We invite scholars and jurists from the presently non-covered jurisdictions to contact us about contributing a report in next year’s Global Review.
Commission rules on objections to candidates 9 april 2019SABC News
The Commission has adjudicated objections against candidates
nominated to stand for the 2019 National and Provincial Elections, upholding one
and overturning all others.
Pakistan has been facing numerous key public sector challenges such as transformation of traditional public administration to new public management system leading towards public value management model in Pakistan electoral system. This is similar to what we have in other developed countries like UK, Canada and Australia.
Almost after 70 years of its independence, government yet failed to conduct a single fair election through unanimously accepted voting process by public and private organizations.
In fact, most of the times; final results of elections were challenged by losing parties based on the number of complaints of election rigging and bogus old fashioned voting system.
This situation was become more worsen during the last election held in 2013, when all parties blamed for ballot theft and voters were in streets for their protests against failure of this system.
Unlike Australia, Pakistani election is based on First-past-the-post voting method instead of Preferential Voting.
Further, separation of power is also similar to UK, Australia like separate legislatures, executive and judiciary. Under the constitutional frame of work, elections are to be held after each 5 years which in fact happened earlier before completing the tenure of government.
Some of the details are given here, important is to look into the comparison of %age voting between ruling party and the opposition parties.
On recent Pakistani election, observations of international organizations were important for the institutional improvement and revealing hindrances of public participation.

Introduction
The state in Myanmar has gone through several incarnations since pre-colonial times.
1
After decades of military rule (1958–60, 1962–74, 1988–2010) and/or one-party-regime (1974–88), the 2008 Constitution of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar establishes the basis for new gov-ernmental institutions and new modes of governance. This constitution – the third for the country following those from 1947 and 1974
2
– has been heavily criticized by democracy activists and opposition parties inside the country and by the international community for not meeting basic international standards for democratic governance. The strong role of the military, in particular the provision for reserved seats in the legislature, has been especially criticized. In fact, the question whether to accept the new constitution as a preliminary framework – that could provide a transitional pathway, opening a window of opportunity for opposition forces to re-engage in politics – was a question of principle for political parties prior to the 2010 elections. These elections were held on the basis of the new constitution. Several parties split over this question, some deciding on a boycott while splinter groups or newly founded parties decided to contest the polls
