KARACHI: The Free and Fair Election Network (Fafen) rolled out on Wednesday an election information portal titled “Election Pakistan“.The portal aims to provide consolidated election-related information on a single platform.
To fill the information gap with accuracy and credibility, Fafen has digitalised the voluminous election data for users.

It provides detailed insight into the history of political parties, their alliances and electoral boycotts, besides giving vital information on critical and safest seats of the various political parties.The election portal also provides a complete list of the contestants since 1970.
With election records of more than 62,506 candidates, the portal has the scalability to synchronise candidates’ election records that reflect the election records of contesting candidates.
The portal also contains the records of more than 7,300 unique constituencies of national and provincial assemblies.
Each constituency’s record can be searched with complete information and historical timeline.

It also shares the analysis based on geographical clustering of constituencies, including changes in the vote-shift, top three political parties, registered voters and the turnout.
