After the issuance of new constituency delimitations, the number game for prime minister’s election has also changed.

According to the Election Commission, following the new constituency delimitations, 169 votes will be required to elect the new prime minister, whereas under the previous constituency boundaries, 172 members’ support was necessary to elect the prime minister.

The total number of seats in the National Assembly has now reached 266 after the general seats were increased, including 60 reserved for women. This brings the total seats in the National Assembly to 326.

It should be noted that the Election Commission has released a list of new constituency delimitations, providing complete details about the constituencies for both the national and provincial assemblies.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has immediately lifted restrictions on voter lists nationwide, allowing eligible individuals to register, transfer, or rectify their votes till Oct 25.

According to the ECP spokesperson’s statement, the electoral rolls were suspended on July 20, this year by invoking clause 39 of the Election Act 2017.

Following the unfreezing of electoral lists, eligible individuals now have the opportunity to update their voter information.

He urged all eligible citizens to ensure the correctness of their voter registration, modifications, and transfers, and align their particulars with their computerized national identity card details by October 25, 2023.
