The Election Commission (EC) has launched its new website.

EC Secretary General Hassan Zakaria told One on Sunday that the new website displays the details of the candidates contesting elections along with their photographs. He added that the new website design makes it easier to download annual reports and is also easier to access on mobile phones.

He said that the new website will also have provisions to check the location of registration to vote, how election-related statistics can be checked, how EC's online services will be conducted by registering with efaas, and how people can send their queries online to the EC.

The EC's new website will display the results of all presidential and parliamentary and local body elections held since 2008, including the number of officials and temporary staff who worked in these elections, the number of ballot boxes for the upcoming parliamentary elections and the number of temporary staff involved.
