Islamabad, The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has decided to initiate the reprinting of ballot papers for certain constituencies after the completion of the regular printing process. This decision was made during a meeting held in Islamabad today.
According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the ECP clarified that the reprinting of ballots is contingent upon the availability of special security paper and the capacity of the printing press. The Commission also noted that if the required quantity of this security paper is not available, it may have no choice but to postpone elections in the affected constituencies.
This development highlights the logistical challenges faced by the ECP in the lead-up to the elections. The reliance on special security paper is crucial for ensuring the integrity and security of the electoral process. The ECP’s decision to prioritize the regular printing of ballots before commencing the reprinting process reflects a strategic approach to managing these challenges.
The meeting’s outcome underscores the ECP’s commitment to conducting a fair and transparent election, even in the face of logistical constraints.
