The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has promised to provide the ECP with all technical assistance required for the preparation of the upcoming elections.
In a statement issued by the Media and Communication Director Naz Shoeb regarding voters’ registration, NADRA mentioned it will provide verification services for voters and maintained the job to register voters lies solely with the ECP.
“All CNICs (of voters) issued by NADRA are forwarded to the ECP for verification and only those are registered where satisfaction of District Election Commissioner/Registration Officer is achieved”.
Apart from this, NADRA has also said they will use “all possible means” to restrict Afghan refugees from obtaining NICs.
For tribal agencies, attestation of political agent or assistant political agent is required on each application.
