ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Friday issued the schedule for by-elections on six National Assembly and four provincial assembly seats which are to be held on Feb 25, FTNews reported.
The commission said that the schedule for by-polls had been changed due to preparation of fresh electoral rolls for the concerned constituencies.
The ECP said that electoral rolls were being prepared in light of the order of the Supreme Court.
The commission expressed hope that updated rolls would be ready before the by-polls.
The commission had earlier announced Feb 20 as the date for by-polls but later decided to change it in view of the objections raised by the apex court over inaccuracy in voters’ lists.
