Ballot papers, non-erasable ink, stamp pads and other polling materials were handed over to presiding officers at the Malir deputy commissioner's office on Monday, ahead of the PS-88 by-polls to be held today (Tuesday).
According to Sindh Election Commissioner Aijaz Anwar Chauhan, votes will be cast from 8am to 5pm without interruptions. Four camps have been established for this purpose.
Speculation over the results should be held off for at least an hour after the polling ends, cautioned Chauhan.
The election commissioner reminded polling agents of candidates present at the polling stations to collect copies of form 45 from the presiding officers.

As many as 20 candidates from different parties are competing for the PS-88 seat, which was vacated after the demise of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) MPA Ghulam Murtaza Baloch.
