ECP's 8300 SMS service set to relieve voters of a major headache

Voters will now be able to check their polling station by sending their national identity card (NIC) number to 8300, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) announced on Wednesday.

Although the 8300 messaging service has been active for some time, it only provided information on the electoral area. When the ECP is done updating its database "by today or tomorrow", the reply from 8300 will also provide details of the polling stations, an ECP spokesperson said.

ECP will now send voters their block code, serial number, polling area as well as polling stations if they text their CNIC number to 8300.
