ISLAMABAD, Aug 17: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has worked out a strategy to include names of missing voters in the updated electoral rolls. A meeting of the Election Commission was held here, with its Secretary Kunwar Dilshad in the chair. The meeting decided to update the rolls by incorporating the names of all eligible voters present in the voters list of 2002 but missing from the draft electoral rolls.

The meeting was attended by the provincial election commissioners and senior officers of the election commission.

According to Mr Dilshad, the additional lists will be prepared by the verifying officials, under the supervision of the registration officers, including the assistant election commissioners and deputy election commissioners, within 30 days.—Our Reporter
