I read this news today which says that
The electoral rolls can now be verfied on SMS. The inauguration ceremony of the service took place in ECP secretariat here last.
“By using this service, the eligible voters would be able to send Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) number on 8300 and in response, the voter would get the voting details like CNIC No., Electoral Area name, Block Code, Tehsil/District and Serial Number,” an official of the Election Commission said while giving details of the service.
In order to protect the privacy of a voter, the name, parentage and home address would not be shown in the SMS.
A few days ago i registered myself by sending my CNIC no. on 8300 via text and within 5 seconds i received the message having my CNIC no. District name, serial no. my street name and Block code details in it. I was happy and amazed that ECP ( Election Commission of Pakistan) didn't mentioned my house no. & my name in it. So after reading today's news i assure all my fellows that ECP is really doing something for voters of the country and the news is 100% authentic.
This is actually a good step of ECP because this service can be easily availed by everyone through their cell phone. Another thing i want to mention that there are charges of this service i-e when you send text to 8300 they charge you approx. 1 rupee only/-
So mates do not waste your time and register yourself. Being a citizen this is your responsibility for free and fair elections.....
