With 98.40% of the votes counted, there were over 112,875 invalid votes. This is the highest number of invalid votes within the last 18 years, going back to the 2005 general elections. In this article, we will analyze the valid and invalid votes from 2005 to 2023. The lack of adequate voter education may have been the reason for such an extremely high number of invalid votes – 112,875. In order to reduce the number of invalid votes to 3% or below, NEC certainly needs to do a much better job in voter education.
