As the nation is set to elect a new President, a report by a think tank said on Friday that around 33 per cent of members in the electoral college, which includes members of both houses of Parliament as well as state assemblies, have declared criminal cases against them.

The Association for Democratic Reforms and National Election Watch said this, based on the analysis of self-sworn affidavits of 4,852 of 4,896 MPs and MLAs.
