No malpractices in voting process: Australia

The Australian election observation team has said no apparent restriction on the ability to vote at the booths visited by the teams was observed.

In a post election statement issued on Monday, Australian observers said that in many booths, votes were cast with obvious enthusiasm.

The report further said since the booths observed by the teams were staffed and attended by effective and dedicated polling officials and national observers, Australian teams observed no significant or systematic abuses or malpractice in the voting process.

While the parties who lost the elections blamed the Maoists of malpractices during the polls process, Australian observers said voters at the booths they observed were able to exercise their right to vote in a free and fair manner.

The Australian Election Observation Group was led by Mark Butler MP and included Dr Andrew Laming MP, Dr Christopher Drury from the Australian Electoral Commission and a number of officials from the Australian Embassy in Kathmandu. nepalnews.com ia Apr 21 08
