ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Forensic report of the votes that were cast in the National Assembly’s constituency NA 110 during the 2013 general elections, reveals that only 20 of the total votes were invalid whereas thumb impressions on one-hundred two thousand nine hundred and fifty votes were unclear, reported Dunya News on Wednesday.
Sources indicate that the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) officials submitted the forensic report. The report states that the votes having unclear thumb impressions were declared verified as the identification card numbers mentioned on these votes were valid.
Sources state that 44,700 votes cast in the constituency were valid whereas around three thousand four hundred and seventy one votes could not be verified because of various reasons. Furthermore, no record related to 20 votes could be traced.

NA 110 is among the constituencies in which PTI demanded investigation of the election’s outcome.
