According to an ECP official, the verification process will be completed by August 16, after which the ECP will finalise the electoral rolls with the help of data provided by the National Database and Registration Authority and the voters’ list of 2007.
The ECP is also making a transparent database and CNIC numbers will be used as unique identifiers of the existing voters’ list in order to discourage bogus votes.
