The Gilgit-Baltistan Election Commission (the electoral authority for Pakistan's northernmost federally administered territory) has issued a revised schedule for provincial assembly elections, setting June 7, 2026, as polling day across 24 constituencies. The earlier election programme had been withdrawn in December 2025, with the commission using its powers under the Elections Act, 2017, to issue the new timetable; candidates may submit nomination papers between April 16 and 20, with symbols to be allotted on May 12. Local government elections in the territory are separately scheduled for June 14, with a detailed schedule for those polls due by April 20.
