Voters with an expired national identity card can cast their votes in the upcoming general elections on February 8, APP reports.
Spokesman of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) KP, Sohail Ahmad told APP that all voters whose identity cards have expired are eligible for casting votes.
However, all voters must take their original identity card to the polling station, otherwise they will not be allowed to exercise their right of franchise, he said.
He said the ECP took this decision to allow the participation of hundreds of thousands of voters in elections.
A large number of people were approaching and asking about their eligibility due to the expiry of the identity cards, he added.
