ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has sought a guarantee from the federal government that it would develop a foolproof and rigorously tested i-voting system that is secure from international hacking attacks, especially state-sponsored hacking attempts.
In a recent letter addressed to the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, the Secretary ECP Omar Hamid Khan referred to the ECP’s decision of approaching the federal government to seek the required guarantees for making a foolproof i-voting system. “The Honorable Commission has decided to approach the federal government asking how much time Nadra requires to rectify the vulnerabilities and gaps highlighted by a cybersecurity firm and timelines may be provided to the ECP for development of a new i-voting system based on recommendations given in the report by the Internet Voting Task Force (IVTF) and (Spanish audit firm) Minsait,” said the letter.
