Presenting a report related to the House of Representatives election, 2082, at a program organized on Sunday, FWLD stated the necessity of making polling centers more gender, disability, and inclusion-friendly.

This suggestion was put forth by fifteen non-governmental organizations under the leadership of FWLD. FWLD advocate Sagar Pathak informed that the report regarding polling stations, voting times, and vote counting situations prior to the election was prepared using the 'Gender Equality and Social Inclusion Methodology'.

He shared that the report was prepared after observing 160 polling stations across 24 districts in seven provinces. FWLD Executive Director Advocate Sabin Shrestha emphasized that polling stations must be established according to the directives prepared by the Election Commission.
