NADRA successfully printed close to 650,000 SNICs in five days in a bid to ensure that eligible voters are not deprived of their right to vote tomorrow.

The good news is that courier companies have already delivered 585,000 of those freshly printed cards to NADRA centers.

You can collect your SNICs from NADRA centers till 9PM today (July 24) and 2PM on election day.

The bad news is that some 300,000 cards are still at NADRA centers waiting to be picked up.

But there's a silver lining: the NADRA centers are open till 9PM on July 24 and till 9PM on July 25 for people wishing to pick their cards up and go vote on time.
