ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) appointed thirty-two Regional Election Commissioners (RECs) as Regional Monitoring Coordinators to ensure effective monitoring of the 2024 General Elections.
The ECP spokesperson said that the appointed Regional Coordinators will play an important role in guaranteeing comprehensive monitoring at the division level. They are also responsible for guiding and supervising the monitoring teams within their respective districts during polls.
The ECP will establish four-tier monitoring control rooms, with Provincial, Divisional, and District Monitoring Control Rooms operating under the supervision of the Central Monitoring Control Center in Islamabad.
Legal action will be taken by the monitoring teams for any violations of the code of conduct in polls.
ECP Conducts Online Training Workshop
Meanwhile, the ECP conducted a one-day online training workshop for Regional Monitoring Coordinators, where all Regional Election Commissioners in the country were equipped with the required skills for their roles as RMCs.
The workshop covered the Election Commission’s monitoring framework and the establishment of monitoring rooms at provincial, divisional, and district levels.
Following this training, Regional Monitoring Coordinators/Regional Election Commissioners will train District Monitoring Officers and Monitoring Teams in their respective divisions.
RMCs had already undergone a 2-day training session at the Election Commission Secretariat in Islamabad two months ago.
