Registration and Verification
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Election Commissioner Sardar Muhammad Raza Khan called upon the general public to ensure registration of their vote.
He said that the recent national census has provided statistics of over one hundred million people that are eligible for voting, so they should ensure registration and verification of their votes.
