The journalist, who is associated with Dawn News, took to Twitter to release the details of the statistical block code sent to him by the commission.
In the ECP's message, it is clearly written that his vote has been rejected after confirmation of his death during the house-to-house verification process in connection with the periodic revision of electoral rolls.
“Mash’Allah the Election Commission of Pakistan has confirmed my death,” Haseeb wrote sarcastically in a tweet.
However, in another tweet, he said the commission has contacted him and admitted its mistake, besides assuring to fix it.
It is pertinent to mention that according to the Election Act, 2017, a voter’s registration can be done only in one statistical block code or location of the current or permanent address listed on his/her identity card.
However, the government employees can register their own and family's votes at the places of their postings apart from their permanent addresses.
