Voters can check their vote by sending a text message with their Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) number (without a dash) to 8300.
The reply message will contain the information containing their name, and the electoral area.
The message also includes a serial number of the votes registered in the initial electoral rolls.
If you are already a registered voter, then you just need to show up at a polling station in your constituency with your original CNIC on the day of the election.

The election is expected to be a tight race between Sharifs’ Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) and Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
However if neither party wins a clear majority then the support of Bilabial Bhutto Zardari’s Pakistan Peoples Party will be crucial in forming a government.
