Abstract

At the end of each of the ten general elections in Pakistan a debate regarding its fairness is erupted. Every losing contestant and political party pronounces it to be rigged and engineered. On the other hand the winners claim it to be historically free and fair. Statistical analysis of the election data may be used to gauge the legitimacy, and level of fairness of an election. Putting such data on statistical analyses is unprecedented in Pakistan. In this paper we have set an example and precedence.
