The deadline for registration of overseas Pakistani voters for the upcoming by-polls ends on Monday after an earlier two-day extension.

 

The electoral body said the online link to register would expire at midnight PST and urged expatriates to register.

A final list of candidates, contesting by-polls scheduled to be held on October 14, was issued on Sunday.
