QUETTA: Provincial Election Commissioner Sonu Khan Baloch on Friday revealed that around 112,000 voters of Karachi have been fraudulently registered in Balochistan, DawnNews reported.

“We are taking steps to rectify the errors,” Khan assured.

Election commissioner said that compiling the list of 85 million eligible voters could have possibility of errors.

Khan urged the political parties to cooperate in this regard rather than being critical.

Earlier Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) had lodged a protest outside the provincial election commission urging the commission to immediately prepare new voter lists removing the irregularities in the present lists.

Despite the orders of the Supreme Court, complete voter lists have not been compiled yet, sources said.
