ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) Friday said 2.9 million expired voters names had been deleted so far from the electoral rolls and sought role of families of the deceased persons to immediately report to the district election commission for deletions.
Referring to media reports about presence of the names of over 3.0 million dead voters in the electoral rolls, the Election Commission said in a statement that primarily it was the responsibility of family members of an expired person to report to the concerned union council or municipal corporation and get deleted his or her name from the electoral rolls.
Likewise, the Election Commission maintained that it was also the responsibility of the concerned official of the union council or municipal corporation to get enlisted the name of deceased at the Nadra registration centre. Moreover, the details should also be shared with the district election commissions.
?Once, the Election Commission receives a report of death of a voter from the union council, municipal corporation or Nadra, his or her name is immediately removed from the electoral rolls,? the Election Commission maintained.
It pointed out that already names of 2.9 million dead persons had been removed from the electoral rolls and the review of electoral rolls was being initiated again shortly. Therefore, the report of death of a person should be shared with the concerned district election commission in order to getting his or her name removed from the electoral rolls.
Meanwhile, the Election commission waits for adoption of the 24th constitutional amendment from parliament, which will pave way for it to carry out delimitation of constituencies on the basis of provisional national census data. ?Yes, we are awaiting the desired legislation to kick start the next phase of our preparations for the next general election and of course to delimit the constituencies,? a senior official at the Election Commission said here.
He maintained that if parliament delayed the legislation for another few weeks, this would not only delay the nation-wide exercise of delimitation of constituencies but also the conduct of general election next year.It is pertinent that while the National Assembly, which has already passed the legislation, is again in session, the Senate has failed even to take up the bill even for consideration. However, a fresh regular session of the Senate has been summoned, and the House will meet from Monday amid speculations that the government would push for summoning a joint session of the two parliamentary chambers to pass the bill. The government does not enjoy a two-thirds majority in the senate.
