Observers would be free to witness election process in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD, Jan 11 (KUNA) — International observers would be free to move anywhere in Pakistan to witness the electoral process, said Secretary Election Commission (EC) Kanwar Muhammad Dilshad Friday.

“Election Commission would issue them Accreditation Cards enabling them to freely visit polling stations and view the voting process”, he said while talking to state-run Associate Press of Pakistan (APP).

The Secretary said EC would issue the Accreditation Cards to as many observers as desire to come and witness this process.

“They would be free to move. They can witness vote casting, polling stations and meet the Returning Officers”, he said, adding, “They would be able to see the whole procedure. We leave it to them where they want to visit”.

Over 200 observers from different parts of the world will be arriving in Pakistan to monitor the election process.

In the aftermath of violence triggered by Benazir Bhutto assassination, the EC has delayed general elections till February 18th, earlier scheduled to be held on Jan 8th.
