Overview
- Ballot shortages on June 3 temporarily halted voting at 26 polling stations, and the NEC fact‑finding panel found that 140 of 14,288 stations requested extra ballots while 91 used them.
- A joint police‑prosecution team is analyzing server data and polling records seized in a June 11 raid of NEC headquarters and has widened witness interviews to reconstruct when and how ballots ran out.
- The NEC formally accepted the panel's June 22 finding of systemic election‑management failures, pledged institutional reforms and agreed to hand the report to investigators while seeking disciplinary action.
- A National Assembly special committee held its first hearing on June 23, approved summonses for dozens of witnesses including former NEC officials, and set an on‑site probe for July 8 with follow‑up hearings on July 14 and 22.
- Large protests at the Songpa counting site have blocked ballot access for more than two weeks, eroded public trust in election oversight and shifted the focus of probes toward administrative choices, possible rule or spending violations, and preservation of evidence rather than a likely nationwide rerun.
