Following the original first round on 7 September 2013, the Supreme Court annulled the elections and cancelled the planned second round by a vote of four to three. Voting in favour of the annulment, Judge Ahmed Abdulla Didi referenced a confidential police report that claimed that 5,623 ineligible people had voted in the elections including dead people and others under 18.[5] The rechecking of voters' registry was carried out in the presence of the staff of Elections Commission and the Police Service. India said it hoped that the voting would be complete by 11 November.[6]
