By Xinhua

Islamabad : Pakistan’s Election Commission will Tuesday announce the schedule of the forthcoming general elections after dissolution of the provincial assemblies.

Media reports here Saturday quoted commission Secretary Kanwar Dilshad as saying an important meeting of the poll panel would be held Monday to discuss the election schedule.

He said the meeting was also likely to finalise the code of conduct for the elections.

He said the commission would fulfil its constitutional responsibilities of conducting free, fair and transparent elections.

Dilshad said error-free computerised electoral rolls have already been published which would form the basis of the elections.

There are some 80.5 million registered voters in Pakistan.
