Story so far

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had previously announced its readiness to hold local government (LG) elections in Punjab, confirming it had sent a draft schedule to the provincial government. However, the commission has cited legal and administrative hurdles preventing polls in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad, and cantonment boards. For the capital, a lapsed ordinance has stalled the process, while for cantonment boards, the ECP awaits a formal request from the federal government as required by law.

Latest development

The ECP has proposed holding local government elections in Punjab on December 14 and has sent a detailed schedule to the provincial government for consultation. The proposed timeline includes the submission of nomination papers from October 26-28 and the allocation of election symbols on November 10.

    Ye aam shehri ke liye samajhna zaroori hai ke sirf ECP ki zimmedari nahi, provincial aur federal governments ko bhi apna kaam karna chahie taake ye nizaam har jagah laagu ho.

    Good to see progress for Punjab. Functional local governments are crucial for basic services that affect everyone. Hopefully the legal and administrative hurdles in other regions can be resolved quickly.
