With less than a week to Pakistan’s internet-driven polls, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has taken various tech-savvy measures to guide voters on the polling process.

Among other steps, the ECP has updated its short message service, putting an end to the ambiguity surrounding the path to polling stations.

Voters will be able to acquire the exact address to their polling station by sending their computerised national identity card number to 8300. Although the messaging service has been active for some time, it only provided constituency details earlier.
