ISLAMABAD: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) parliamentarians on Thursday submitted the Election Act 2017 (amendment) bill in the secretariats of the National Assembly and Senate.The JI parliamentarians through the proposed legislation wanted amendment to a clause of the Election Act 2017 which says that votes of voters would be shifted to their permanent addressed after December 31, 2018.The JI members feel that the clause would not apply on the government employees but votes of their family members would be shifted to their permanent addresses. "A large number of voters in this way will be deprived of use of their right of vote on eve of elections", they said, adding the voters would also apply for shifting of their votes to permanent address which would be a big problem for them. Maulana Abdul Akbar Chitrali and Senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan submitted the Election Act 2017 (amendment) bill in the National Assembly and the Senate separately.
