The assessment was started on December 26. Right now, the commission employees are assessing complaints in 15 provinces out of a total of 34.

IECC spokesman Mohammad Qasim Elyasi said the assessment of the complaints in other provinces will begin on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2020.

“Almost 1,000 complaints remained to be assessed (in Kabul),” he said, adding: “In other provinces such as Kandahar, Samangan, Wardak, Parwan and Bamiyan most of the complaints are about the processed votes and discrepancies with votes from results sheets.”

“Complaints from most of the candidates are vague and without evidence,  or they have been mixed (with other complaints),” the head of the IECC secretariat Mohammad Noor Kamal said.

Over 80% of the complaints are about election crimes which takes time to be assessed, according to an IECC member.
