The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and Pakistan Army have reached a consensus to hold local bodies (LB) elections in cantonment boards on November 3, 2013.
This was decided during a meeting of ECP on Tuesday with acting chief election commissioner (CEC) Justice Tasadduq Hussain Jilani in the chair.
Provincial election commissioners, defence secretary, officials of NADRA and Pakistan Army were also present in the meeting.
The meeting reviewed the issue of holding of LB polls in the cantonment boards.
Regretting delay in holding of local bodies polls in the cantonment boards, the acting chief election commissioner directed the secretary of the commission to seek more time from the Supreme Court (SC).
