Independent candidates have to submit the signatures of one percent of the voters of the parliamentary constituency along with the nomination papers.
District Returning Officer and Scrutiny Committee Head Farah Gul Nijhum wants to know whether the 10 voters who signed on behalf of independent candidates have signed on their mobile phones.
