“This House believes that under the recently announced schedule by the Election Commission of Pakistan of the Local Government elections in Sindh is practically difficult to deliver free and fair election.
This House resolves that conducting the LG Elections in hastily and non-transparent manner will cast a doubt on the credibility not only on the process but also results.
The Election Commission of Pakistan must ensure that all essential requirements like, Magnetic Ink, Proper Voters Lists are provided and reasonable canvassing time be allotted for free, fair and transparent Local Government Elections.
The printing of Ballot Papers as defined by the law can only be carried out by the Printing Press of Pakistan which has shown its inability to print the ballots in the election schedule given. The printing of ballot papers by any private printing press may not be acceptable as it would make the transparency of election process questionable.
The sovereign political will of this House must prevail in a democratic process of elections which has to be transparent, free & fair and in the spirit according with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Election Commission of Pakistan.
This resolution be forwarded to the Election Commission of Pakistan.”
