A decrease of about 589,000 has been recorded in the total
number of registered voters across the country. According to sources, NADRA has
provided the latest record of voters to the Election Commission of Pakistan
under Section 25 of the Election Act 2017.
Sources say that NADRA has recommended the deregistration of
more than 1.484 million deceased voters from the voter lists, while the data of
more than 894,000 new eligible voters has also been received by the Election
Commission.
According to sources, the process of deregistration of
deceased voters has been further accelerated, after which the process of making
the voter lists more transparent and accurate is underway.
