The Elections Act, 2017 provides for utmost care in dealing with the result of constituencies where a close contest takes place. The law also provides additional powers to ECP to deal with ballots excluded from the count. Section 95(2) of the Elections Act, 2017 states: “Before consolidating the Results of the Count, the Returning Officer shall examine the ballot papers excluded from the count by the Presiding Officer and, if he/she finds that any such ballot paper should not have been so excluded, count it as a ballot paper cast in favour of the contesting candidate for whom the vote has been cast.” In addition, Section 95(5) of the Elections Act, 2017 reads: “Before commencement of the consolidation proceedings, the Returning Officer shall recount the ballot papers of one or more polling stations if a request or challenge in writing is made by a contesting candidate or his election agent and the margin of victory is less than five percent of the total votes polled in the constituency or ten thousand votes, whichever is less, or the Returning Officer considers such request as not unreasonable.” Section 8 (b) of the Act relates to the “Power of Commission to ensure fair election” specifically mentions the issue of rejected votes in describing the absolute power of ECP to intervene in cases of controversy. This section of the law states that the Commission may “review an order passed by an officer under this Act or the Rules, including rejection of a ballot paper.” Section 8(c) reinforces the general authority of the Commission to “issue such instructions, exercise such powers and make such consequential orders as may in its opinion, be necessary for ensuring that an election is conducted honestly, justly, fairly and in accordance with the provisions of this Act and the Rules.”
