Afghanistan election system
In Afghanistan we use SNTV system for the multi member constituency elections and two round system for the presidential elections.

In Afghanistan we have not managed to establish a voters’ list yet. This is due to the lack of a single Identity document, but the process of distribution of electronic ID is under way to be conducted soon.

All the previous elections have been conducted without voters list, however, IEC has its own voter registry that is a database with biometric analysis information and has distributed voters with a voter ID card.

In Afghanistan, we have around 7,000 polling centers and 21,000 polling stations across the 34 provinces. This gives an average of 1 km accessibility to voters.

Afghanistan has around 30 million population with an average age of 19 years so the voter population is estimated around 12 million.
The turnout in our elections is 75% with a 30% female participation.

We conduct counting in the polling centers and then physically transfer the result sheets to the National Tally Center where it is entered in to the database and processed.

This takes several days therefore the
announcement of results is always a
progressive matter. We also announce
a 3 round of results:
• Primary Results
• Partial Results
• Final Results

Primary results and final results after all the objections and complaints are addressed.
Partial Results announced when the tallying of results is in progress. It is a progressive announcement results by percentage.
In Afghanistan, Insecurity is the major challenge which prevents a free, fair and widely observed elections.

This is why there are claims of fraud and sometimes these claims are just. We are conducting elections in a situation of war and insurgency and we still have local powers governing the situation in their favor.

With all these, our security forces are totally reserved for the election security during the elections and they are putting all their efforts to make the process successful.
