In an effort to guarantee a seamless voting process, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has prepared a thorough plan for polling places as the anticipated general elections, set for February 8, 2024, draw near.
This strategy plan is intended to offer comprehensive insights into the allocation and classification of polling stations, encouraging informed participation and resolving any concerns well in advance of the election date, with approximately 92,000 polling stations planned for establishment nationally.
Shortly before the election, the complete polling plan will be made available to the public. It will provide voters a general idea of how the four provinces and the federal capital will be distributed in terms of voting places.
Depending on the security environment and past instances of electoral violence, the classification includes labels like regular, sensitive, or highly sensitive.
