Following claims on fraud in the parliamentary elections, some lawmakers in a joint statement called on the election commissions to count only the votes cast by use of biometric system. 

The MPs said the votes cast without biometric should be recognized invalid. 

Electoral watchdog organizations said less than two million votes have been cast by biometric system while the commissions has said that it is at least three million.  

“Our reports indicate that biometric system has not been used to the extent the commission claims and based on our reports and monitoring, the commission’s statistics (on use of biometric system in elections) are not accurate,” said Naeem Ayubzada, CEO of Transparent Election Foundation of Afghanistan.
