8. Election Notification

The electoral process for the elections to the Parliament starts with Presidential notification calling upon all the parliamentary constituencies to elect members to constitute a new House of the People either on the expiry of the tenure of the existing House or on its dissolution.

As soon as the notification is issued, the Election Commission shall, by notification, appoint:

a) the last date for making nominations;

b) the last date for the withdrawal of candidatures;

c) the date or dates on which a poll shall, if necessary, be taken, and

d) the date before which the election shall be completed.
