Meanwhile, in a move to ensure the sanctity of vote, the Election Commission of Pakistan has barred the members of the relevant assemblies from bringing mobile phones or any other electronic device to the premises of the polling station on the Senate elections day.
In a notification issued by the ECP Secretariat to all provincial election offices, the Returning Officers have been directed to ensure that no voter may take with him\her mobile phone or any other electronic device to the screened-off compartment where he/she marks preference on the ballot paper.
