The Electoral Complaints Commission (ECC) in Herat has said that it has investigated votes from 308 polling sites for the provincial council candidates.
According to the ECC provincial office chief Abdullah Sherzai, investigations have begun and so far at least 100 out of the 308 polling sites have been inspected.
Mr. Sherzai confirmed that initial investigations reveal that at some polling sites fraud was committed in support of particular candidates.
"We will recount votes making sure that the fake votes are invalidated," he said.
The votes from 308 polling sites were inspected on the demands of observers and election campaigns. Complaints that were filed in regards to these polling sites were broadcasted on Wednesday and will continue for the next three days.
"The ballot boxes were inspected on the basis of complaints registered," Sherzai added. "There is a possibility that the provincial councils candidates are involved in the riggings.”
The ECC has completed the investigation of complaints for the presidential elections and is now working on investigating complaints filed against the provincial council candidates.
