In a long-standing demand, PILDAT and its Citizens Group on Electoral Process had been asking the ECP to provide public access to disclosure and declarations made by the electoral candidates.
Ahead of every election, the ECP obtains key information through nomination papers that each candidate has to submit, including declaration of information such as educational qualification, list of criminal cases, income tax, land revenue paid, etc. However, despite all this, the ECP did not publicise it for the voters’ knowledge.
Now, welcoming the ECP decision on its long-standing demand, PILDAT has said that the ECP must now ensure that comprehensive information of candidates is available in a timely manner online.
