Asim assured that no document related to the election will be thrown away, and that ‘the necessary documents will be stored for the required duration’.

Similarly, he said that the commission would not throw away any re-registration form submitted in relation to the second round, and that all forms submitted by members of the public to the commission have been saved by the commission.
