By-polls: Last day for registration of overseas Pakistanis

Final list of candidates contesting by-polls was issued on Sunday

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.



To cast their votes online, overseas Pakistanis should possess a National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistani (NICOP), Machine Readable Passport (MRP) and must be registered voters in constituencies where by-elections are set to take place.

By-elections will be held on 11 National Assembly and 26 provincial assemblies’ seats, which are currently vacant.



The seats remain unrepresented courtesy voting not taking place during the July 25 general elections or as a result of successful candidates having vacated their seats.
