invalid votes

There were more invalid votes under the proportional representation (PR) than under the first-past-the-post (FPTP) system.

A noticeable number of invalid ballots in the district comprising three constituencies under the HoR and six towards the PA has been assessed as a lack of sufficient voter education.

More than 7,000 votes were invalidated in the Gulmi district in the House of Representatives and Provincial Assembly elections held on November 4.

Gotame won the election by getting 8,533 votes
