Polling stations in a rural constituency are rarely where people expect. A girls' primary school three villages away may be the one with your name on it. Voters find out on polling day, with a long walk and a closed gate.
We opened the ECP's Bye-Elections 2024 to 2026 page and the draft list for NA-77 on 12 October 2026. The by-election date is reported as 8 November 2026 and not confirmed on an ECP page we read, so plan to check the list again closer to polling.
The draft list covers 333 polling stations for 518,620 voters
The statement sent by the District Election Commissioner on 25 September 2026 gives 277,480 male and 241,140 female voters, 518,620 in total. It lists 142 male, 137 female and 54 combined polling stations, 333 in all, with no improvised stations. There are 963 polling booths.
A polling station is the building where you vote. A booth is a single voting compartment inside it, and one station can have several. The list itself is in Form 28, the ECP's standard form for a draft list of polling stations in a constituency.

How the list gets from the district to the ECP site
Under rule 50 of the Election Rules, 2017, the District Election Commissioner gives the Returning Officer a proposed list of polling stations in Form 28 within a week of the Returning Officer's appointment. A copy goes to the ECP, which puts it on its website. The Returning Officer then publishes a preliminary list.
The District Returning Officer finalises the list and publishes it in the official Gazette. The rule says the ECP fixes the dates for these steps, and for a by-election the actions must be finished within the time the ECP sets. We did not read section 59 of the Elections Act, so we cannot give you the exact objection period.
That is why a draft is only a draft. Stations can change between the draft and the final list.
Check your station on the ECP page or by text
The ECP page lists the draft list for NA-77 as a downloadable PDF. It is large, because it names every station and the census blocks and villages it serves. Search it for the name of your village or mohalla.
A faster route is the 8300 text service. Send your CNIC number, without dashes or spaces, to 8300 and the ECP replies with your voter record. Our guide on checking your vote and polling station explains the reply. If the record puts you in another constituency, you vote there, not in NA-77.
Only voters registered in NA-77 vote in this by-election. Voters registered in other constituencies do not.
Follow these steps to find your polling station
- Send your CNIC number to 8300 and note your constituency and station.
- Open the ECP's Bye-Elections 2024 to 2026 page and choose NA-77 Gujranwala-I.
- Open the Draft List of Polling Stations and search for your village or area.
- Note the station name, its gender (male, female or combined) and the census block code.
- Check again after the final list is published, in case your station moved.
Voters who cannot attend because they are posted elsewhere on duty may qualify for a postal ballot. The ECP has fixed a last date for applications, which we set out in our report on postal ballot applications for NA-77 and PP-203.
PP-203 Sahiwal-VI has its own scheme, which we could not read
The same ECP page links a draft polling scheme for the PP-203 Sahiwal-VI by-election. That file is a scanned image with no readable text, so we cannot give you its figures. We read only what we could confirm.
If you live in Sahiwal, use 8300, then open the PP-203 link and look for your area by eye. Do not rely on a figure from a message forwarded to you.
