Islamabad, Jan 11 , IRNA ,International observers would be free to move anywhere in Pakistan to witness the electoral process, said Secretary Election Commission Kanwar Muhammad Dilshad on Friday.
“Election Commission would issue them Accreditation Cards enabling them to freely visit polling stations and view the voting process,” he told a Press conference.
“They would be free to move. They can witness vote casting, polling stations and meet the Returning Officers,” Dilshad said.
“They would be able to see the whole procedure. We leave it to them where they want to visit,” he stated.
When asked about their security, he said, it is responsibility of the Ministry of Interior to provide them security and not of the Election Commission.
“We would only ensure their approach to the polling stations and other election related places. Security is responsibility of the Interior Ministry,” he added.
He said issuance of visa to them relates to Foreign Affairs Ministry and the Election Commission would ensure their access even to see the counting process as well as results at the offices of the Returning Officers.
“Election Commission would have no objection on their mobility in whatever number they come to Pakistan,” Dilshad added.
