Survey for Azad Jammu and Kashmir electoral rolls from tomorrow

MUZAFFARABAD:

The Azad Jammu and Kashmir Election Commission (AJKEC) will carry out a door-to-door survey to revise electoral rolls from March 5 to March 20.

“During the survey people will be asked to present their computerised national identity cards (CNICs) for registration of their votes for finalising the electoral rolls,” said AJKEC Secretary Mian Nayeemullah.

He said that any person present at a home could show the CNICs of his family members to election commission officials to register the votes. He, however, said that valid CNICs and birth certificates were mandatory for registration.

“After March 20, data would be shared with NADRA for verification before publishing the final electoral lists,” he said.
