Voting procedure for overseas Pakistanis
On polling day, the registered voters shall log in to the website using their credentials and enter the ‘voter pass’ emailed to them by the ECP.
This will direct the voter to their registered national and provincial assembly constituencies to enable them to cast their vote.
A designated list of candidates of the selected constituency will be displayed by the system and the voter shall select the election symbol of their candidate to cast their vote.
Upon successful submission of the vote, a “confirmation” message will be displayed on the screen.
