ISLAMABAD: The Ele­ction Commission of Pak­istan (ECP) on Saturday conducted another mock test of the controversial Election Management System (EMS) to be used for the upcoming general elections and described the trial as successful as the previous one.

The system designed for tabulation and compilation of election results, successfully completed all the required steps and goals, the ECP said.

According to ECP spokesman Syed Nadeem Haider, returning officers of 859 constituencies across the country participated in the experimental exercise of EMS and the system’s eligibility was tested both online and off­line and was found to be satisfactory in all respects.

He explained that the main purpose of EMS was tabulation and compilation of election results and it would be used on the polling day.

“This system works at the same speed and efficiency in both online and offline mode.
