ISLAMABAD, SEP 26 (DNA) — The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is poised to release the much-anticipated election schedule next month, setting the stage for a landmark event in the country’s political calendar.

In an effort to ensure a transparent and fair electoral process, the Election Commission is set to unveil the preliminary list of new constituencies tomorrow, paving the way for constructive public engagement. The public will have until October 27 to submit objections regarding these constituencies, with the Election Commission committed to addressing these concerns promptly.

Crucially, decisions on the objections raised are slated to be issued by November 26, marking a significant milestone in the lead-up to the general elections. This will lay the foundation for the final lists of constituencies, which are scheduled for release on November 30, providing clarity to both candidates and voters.

The commencement of the election schedule will herald a new phase of activity, with sources within the Election Commission hinting at the acceptance of nomination papers during the first week of December. This crucial step will officially kickstart the race for parliamentary representation.

The highly anticipated general elections, seen as a pivotal moment in the nation’s democratic history, are currently expected to be held on January 28. — DNA
