ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday said that the Senate polls scheduled to take place on Wednesday will be held according to the "Constitution and law as per past practice".
"The Pak Election Commission also determined that due to time constrain, the ensuing Senate election scheduled for March 3, 2021, will be conducted as provided in the Constitution and Law as per past practice," The Express Tribune quoted the Election Commission of Pakistan as saying in a statement.
The Commission's statement came to light a day after the Supreme Court asked it to take all available measures, including the use of the latest technology, aimed at preventing corrupt practices during the elections. The Pak Supreme court had also declared that the secrecy of the ballot was not absolute.
"The Commission is taking all possible steps and measures to fulfill its constitutional duty to check that corrupt practices in the Senate elections are guarded against. The Commission has so far not received a detailed order/opinion," the statement further said.
