The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday said that local bodies elections in cantonment boards were likely to be held by the end of October.

Talking to media persons, DG Elections Syed Sherafghan said the arrangements were being made for conducting local bodies elections in all 43 cantonment areas.

He said it was expected that elections in cantonment areas would be conducted during the last week of October.

The DG further said the ECP would formally announce election date on September 15 and the ECP would issue election accordingly.

It is pertinent to add that the Supreme Court of Pakistan had directed the ECP to conduct local bodies elections across the country and all cantonment areas during the month of September or few days later.
