ISLAMABAD: Aspiring voters can confirm their registration status on the voter lists by sending their computerized National Identity Card number to 8300 as the Election Commission of Pakistan allows eligible citizens to register, transfer, or correct their voting details until 25 October.
An ECP official said that after sending an SMS to 8300, an automated response will be generated, furnishing information such as the name of the electoral area, serial number, and block code.
Registered voters have the option to verify their details by visiting the District Election Commissioner’s office in their respective areas, where the complete electoral roll is accessible. The addresses and contact information for the DEC’s offices across all four provinces can be found on the Election Commission’s website.
Forms for Voters
The official further said that voters can download Form-21 (for voter registration or transfer), Form-22 (for addressing omissions in voting or raising objections), and Form-23 (for correcting personal details). These forms can then be submitted to the offices of Form Registration Officers and Assistant Registration Officers.
He added that citizens can obtain information by dialing the Election Commission helpline at 051-8848888, where they will get responses from a tele-computerized system.
It is to be noted that the ECP had removed restrictions on voter lists countrywide, enabling eligible individuals to register, update, or transfer their voting information until 25 October.
The ECP had suspended the electoral rolls on 20 July by utilizing clause 39 of the Election Act 2017.
The official urged all eligible citizens to verify the accuracy of their voter registration, make required modifications, and process any transfers to align their details with their computerized NIC information by 25 October 2023.
