ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is set to announce the election schedule for 16 seats of K-P Assembly for the merged tribal districts on Monday (today).

According to a statement, the electoral lists will be frozen after election schedule is announced.

The district election commission’s offices will remain open today for any rectification in the registration of voters.
