The Gilgit-Baltistan Election Commission on Monday announced that local government elections and the general election for the GB Assembly will be held on the same day.
Chief Election Commissioner Raja Shehbaz Khan said the elections will take place in a single phase. He added that the commission has set up display centres across Gilgit-Baltistan to help voters register, verify, and correct their details. Citizens can visit these centres until the end of the month to check and update their voting information.
Raja Shehbaz Khan said voters can also get details of their relevant display centre by sending their CNIC number via SMS to 8301. For further guidance or election forms, people can contact their District Election Commissioner or the in-charge at the display centre.
Meanwhile, following the chief election commissioner’s instructions, authorities have formed committees in all three divisions to carry out the delimitation of district councils, municipal corporations, tehsil councils, and other local bodies. He added that the process of updating voter lists for both local government and general elections is currently underway.
The chief election commissioner urged the public to make full use of the display centres and ensure their voting details are accurate to exercise their democratic right.
