EC Finds Fraud, Punishes Constituency — But Keeps the Tainted Votes

2 weeks ago

DHARAMSALA, 25 April: Following grave and multiple violations in the preliminary phase of the 2025-2026 Tibetan General Election, the Election Commission(EC) has countermanded the final election in the Choejor (Boudha and Jorpati) constituency in Nepal, as a penalty for the misuse of ballot papers through a conspiracy that affects the overall integrity of the election.

The EC has communicated this desision in a directive it issued to the additional regional election officer-in-charge of the Choejor (Boudha and Jorpati) in Nepal on 23 April, after it found the practice of classic ballot stuffing, including a voter casting multiple ballots, or multiple ballots cast with the same handwriting- which the EC said it found practised 10, 20,40,70, or 100 times in such cases.
