The final two areas, Saddar Cantt and Wagah Town, consist of 29 and 25 UCs, respectively.

The election commission has also provided a clear timeline for public feedback and the finalisation of these boundaries. Citizens who wish to contest or raise concerns regarding the new borders can file formal objections by June 23.

The authorities will review and hand down decisions on these complaints by July 24, leading up to the official publication of the finalised delimitation list on Aug 10.
