The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has said that its central election monitoring control centre in Islamabad is “fully functional” and is in “constant communication” with its regional and district-level counterparts.

In a press release, monitoring centre in-charge Haroon Khan Shinwari said Chief Election Commissioner Sikander Sultan Raja was present at the premises to supervise the electoral process.

“The polling process is under way in a peaceful manner,” the electoral watchdog stated, adding that “no complaints have been received as yet from anywhere”.
