The development comes in the wake of protests in Islamabad being staged by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) regarding alleged rigging in the elections.
The ECP forms contain the records of polling station vote counts, accounting for ballot papers, consolidation of election results, and polling schemes implemented on Election Day.
"All of the forms contain information of public importance that must be available to citizens, according to the Constitution and law of Pakistan," said statement released by Fafen, adding that the release of these documents is necessary for ECP to fulfill its public commitment and meet legal standards for electoral transparency.
The documents include Form XIV (Statement of the Count) and Form XV (Ballot Paper Account) for all polling stations for all National and Provincial Assembly constituency elections, as well as Form XVI (Consolidation of Statements of the Count), Form XVII (Result of the Count) and the Polling Scheme exactly as implemented on Election Day for all National and Provincial Assembly constituencies.

"The public release of all key documents is required in order to address questions being raised about the quality and transparency of the General Elections 2013," said Fafen.
All citizens can sign a petition urging the ECP to publish the documents by clicking on the following web link http://www.fafen.org/petition/ecp/sign.

@PML-Naseebo Lal:
PML N is not being targeted. You like your party has become so scared of investigation that every such thing pointing out for investigation is " un-constitutional ". This demand by FAFEN is as per constitution & EC ordinance, so how come you are calling it " un-constitutional " ?
Democracy is government in which every one has shared. when we have shared why not the document mad public. So we thankful to FAFEEN and PTI for fighting our right.
@Mirza: So you've signed the petition? Good work bhai.
A karachi based company had finalized the electronic voting system, spent more than 5mn on the project, sent 3 engineers to spain and germany for training and then in Jan 2013 the project was shelved and the company was forcefully shut down..We all know why...
As Salam o alaikum everyone
Wasn't this data complied before notification of winning candidate?
Most democrats and reasonable persons would support this demand. All info should be public record and accessible to all. The only things that our leaders never demand become public are Humood Rehman Commission, OBL commission, GHQ, Naval base attack, Kargil and all major failure reports be kept away from public forever so the lies could continue. All reports must be public record and shared with those who paid for them, we the people.
The time has come that we stand up and say the truth. Election commission must comply with the justified demand of DAGENHAM.
@Salman:
This 'demand' is unconstitutional. Shame on FAFEN for picking sides. PML-N should not be targeted this way. This is unconstitutional. This must be some sort of conspiracy. Yes, this is part of a script. This is also unconstitutional. Wait... everything is unconstitutional!
ECP should release this data immediately. ECP should also resign for such shameful performance in 2013 elections.
FAFEN has provided link to file online petition. Hope everyone involved in this drama is filing petition for that so truth comes on the surface.
It is time to adopt Electronics Voting Machines instead of so much paper work.
Fafen was reported by PML N & its supporters that they have given a clean chit to 2013 election..if that was so, why would fafen release this Ad ? another feather in the cap of these politicians, particularly PML N.
ECP and Judiciary must make these documents public according to the rules, so that they can clear their position. If they don't then whatever Imran Khan is saying is to be believed.
Great step FAFEN. With no offence to any political party, i just want to see how "Muqaddas" this parliament is. I am quite tired of hearing this "taqqadus" debate all the time.
Protesting to get my constitutional right! Only in Pakistan!
The Nawaz regime must know that the scandal of election fraud is not going to go away by itself nation has woken up
Great step...just signed. And i'm sure all my PMLN friends who support the constitution will sign as well....right?
Thank you for rising out of your slumber FAFEN. It is never too late.
Ye konsi angrezi hai bhai? "Demands ECP to..."
