‘No open balloting for Senate elections, votes to be traceable’

The Supreme Court in its advice on the presidential reference on holding an open ballot for the upcoming Senate elections has said that the voting process can remain secret but the votes should be traceable.

The reference was filed on December 23, 2020.

The top court concluded its proceedings on February 25 and reserved its verdict.

A five-member larger bench, headed by Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed, heard the case.

During the hearing, the top judge remarked that Parliament should decide if the balloting should be open or closed.
