To manage the logistical challenges of such a massive turnout, the EC is deploying approximately 800,000 officials to oversee polling stations and administrative duties.

Security remains a top priority for the interim administration as the nation prepares for the double-header of a parliamentary election and a constitutional referendum.

Nearly 900,000 members of various law enforcement agencies, including the police, Ansar, and other security forces, will be stationed nationwide to maintain order and ensure a safe environment for voters.
