He also added that:

“All PTI bodies stand dissolved in the provinces as of January 15, and their funds will be frozen and a helpline had been established for this purpose.”

Mr. Khalid said that the Election Commission and other government bodies would be assisting with the entire electoral process in future.

“Wherever there is no mobile coverage, district coordinator will be assisting the process,” he said.

m-Governance will definitely take Pakistan towards success as it will replace the traditional filing system into modernized e-Governance . Conducting elections through smartphones will also pave way towards technological advancements in coming years.
