Vote audit to be completed in time, says IEC (Video)

KABUL (Pajhwok): As the vote audit continues in Kabul, the Independent Election Commission IEC on Saturday affirmed its commitment to completing the process within four weeks.

IEC spokesman Noor Muhammad Noor told reporters that 40 teams of the investigators were auditing the votes in the morning shift and as many in the afternoon. Noori did not say how many ballot boxes were audited.

But Ahmad Yousaf Nuristani, the commission’s chairman, recently said at least 100 teams of auditors would investigate 1,000 boxes on a daily basis. He believes the exercise should end within four weeks.
