The GB Election Commission publishes an election campaign code of conduct.

An important circular about the code of conduct for the election campaign for the next general elections was released by the Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) Election Commission on Tuesday.

The circular states that during Gilgit-Baltistan’s general elections in 2026, wall chalking and vandalism on public property would be strictly prohibited. Raja Shahbaz Khan, Chief electoral Commissioner, has ordered an eco-friendly electoral campaign.
