Islamabad:
A staggering 37 million questionable entries have been detected in
Pakistan's electoral rolls, a media report said Wednesday.
An exercise undertaken by the National Database and Registration
Authority (NADRA) showed there were 37 million questionable
entries in the electoral rolls used for the last general
elections.
An official told Dawn that NADRA had received data of 81.2 million
people, who were eligible to vote, for verification so that it
could shift to computerised electoral rolls.
Pakistan has a population of over 160 million.
The verification process revealed that 44.02 million of the
entries were valid and it left a void of 37.18 million entries
that were considered bogus.
As many as 15.02 million voters had been registered even though
there was no identification.
The official said the Election Commission has been informed about
the findings.
