Voting facility for physically disabled

The Election Commission has allowed the physically disabled to vote via postal ballots

SUKKUR: The Election Commission has allowed the physically disabled to vote via postal ballots. The step is a great leap forward towards the facilitation of the vote exercise for such individuals. As previously minor arrangements were done only at a few of the polling stations across the country, which either way required the voter to commute to the polling station. Voters can now cast their ballots from the comfort of their homes.

However, it is expected of the ECP that it will do its best to keep the process transparent for such votes. And no authority would be allowed to misuse them to their advantage.
