Its election committee secretary Ismail Yusop said the technical team was studying the trend that had been detected for the past two weeks.
“The voters are likely to vote for leaders in their respective divisions and as for the MPP, they will only vote for important posts as not all of them know the top leadership,” he told Bernama.
He was responding to Selangor PKR communications chief Nor Hizwan Ahmad who said 30% of votes went missing from the e-voting system during the first phase of the Kedah PKR elections, held at 10 divisions yesterday.
Nor Hizwan said despite the assurance on the integrity of the voting process, the trend would jeopardise the democratic process in PKR.
Ismail said Nor Hizwan should not blame the party’s election system.
He said only the Kuala Kedah division experienced problems during the state-level elections yesterday when less than 20 people took their barcodes but did not vote.
“I did check with the programmer, and there were people who took the barcodes, but did not vote,” he said.
He said problems related to the implementation of the e-voting system were due to the human factor and not the system.
“We can also detect any deliberate malicious attempts made by certain parties to disrupt the elections process,” he said.
