A statement released by the ECP said that people will be allowed to vote if they haven’t been able to renew their CNICs.
The officers at polling stations will check CNICs for verification purposes, the statement said.
It is compulsory for voters to carry their identity cards to the polling stations so that rigging in elections can be prevented.
The total number of registered voters has been estimated to be 86,189,751, out of which 49.25 million are from Punjab, 18.96 million from Sindh, 3.33 million from Balochistan and 12.2 million from K-P.

ECP has given clear cut instructions that any person holding CNIC whether valid or expired can cast his or her vote.
But what will happen after 3pm on the polling day?
Last time in 2008 elections, the representatives of powerful political parties were putting the rubber stamp on the ballots according to their choice of candidates.
Will this be happening in 2003 again?
