In one -fifth of all polling stations observed by HRCP, the president’s officer did not state the statement of the census in a conspicuous place of public viewing or was not seen a photograph of the result to the recurring officer and the Election Commission in Pakistan (ECP).

It was alleged in many cases that the recurring official message did not match the presidential officer
