Pakistan's ECP sets up complaint centre ahead of Bahawalpur by-election

Pakistan's Election Commission (ECP) has established an Election Monitoring and Control Centre to receive and address public complaints during the by-election in Bahawalpur's NA-168 constituency in Punjab, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan.

The by-election is scheduled for September 27. The ECP said trained staff would be deployed at federal, provincial, divisional and district levels to monitor the electoral process and respond to complaints as they arise.

The setup reflects standard election-monitoring procedures the commission has used for previous by-elections, aimed at ensuring complaints raised during voting are handled promptly.
