Representatives of the Election Commission were also present in the meetings.

According to details, Malik had written letters to heads of all 152 political parties asking them to share their experiences and suggestions related to the effective utilisation of the body’s database for strengthening electoral rolls and other e-governance initiatives.

All the political parties appreciated Malik’s initiative and expressed their interest in interactive sessions for the purpose.

In the briefing sessions, the parties forwarded their suggestions regarding enhancing the registration of women and other marginalised groups like minorities, physically challenged persons and transgender. Home Feature 1, Home Pakistan, Pakistan (National Page) (edited)
