ECP likely to release election schedule next month

Islamabad: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is prepared to announce the much-awaited election schedule next month, paving the way for a significant occasion in the nation's political calendar.

The Election Commission is scheduled to release the preliminary list of new constituencies tomorrow, opening the door for fruitful public involvement, in an effort to guarantee a transparent and fair electoral process.

The Election Commission promises to respond to public concerns about these constituencies as soon as they are received and will accept objections until October 27.

A crucial date in the run-up to the general elections is November 26, when decisions on the registered objections are expected to be made. Clarity for both candidates and voters will result from this, laying the groundwork for the publishing of the final lists of constituencies on November 30.

The start of the election calendar will mark the beginning of a new phase of activity, and sources within the Election Commission have hinted that nomination papers would likely be accepted during the first week of December.

This significant action will formally launch the contest for parliamentary representation.

It is currently believed that the highly awaited general elections, viewed as a turning point in the country's democratic history, will take place on January 28.
