Title of Story : Fafen suggests referendum on EVMs, proportional representation system
Summary : ISLAMABAD: Urging the government to desist from any hasty move to amend the Elections Act, the Free and Fair Election Network (Fafen) on Tuesday proposed referendum on the introduction of electronic voting machines (EVMs) and list proportional representation system. In a detailed statement released days after the promulgation of a controversial ordinance binding the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to use EVMs in the next general elections, Fafen said the haste with which the government was pushing for electoral reforms, including the introduction of electronic voting and biometric machines, was worrying.
