Frequently asked questions

01 / The election

Understanding the MPCHS Management Elections

What are the MPCHS Management Elections?

MPCHS is collectively owned by its members. Every three years, eligible members elect the Management Committee that manages the Society’s affairs under the relevant election process.

Why are these elections important?

The elected Committee guides administration, development, governance, and the Society’s future direction for the next three years. Each vote strengthens participation and accountability.

When are the election results announced?

Counting begins as polling closes. The guide says official results are normally announced the same day, after counting is complete; follow RWA’s official channels for updates.

What is the Residents Welfare Association (RWA)?

RWA Islamabad is a registered association representing MPCHS residents and stakeholders. It works for transparency, accountability, better governance, and community welfare.

Where can I follow RWA updates?

Use this website, RWA’s Facebook page, YouTube channel, or the contact details below. Check official channels before acting on circulating messages.

02 / Eligibility

Eligibility and membership

Who is eligible to vote?

The guide lists four conditions: purchase before the 17 December 2025 AGM, AGM-approved membership, inclusion in the official voter list, and the required original documents on polling day.

Who is eligible to contest the election?

An approved MPCHS member who meets the Election Committee’s requirements and submits nomination papers within the prescribed time may contest. Refer to the official schedule before filing.

I own multiple plots. Can I cast more than one vote?

No. The guide states that each eligible member has one vote, regardless of the number of plots or properties owned.

What does “NO” mean in the voter list?

In the context described in the guide, “NO” against a voter means the member is not a defaulter. It does not itself mean that the vote is rejected.

Are non-possession holders eligible to vote?

Yes, if they hold approved membership, own a plot, appear in the official voter list, and meet the document requirements. Physical possession is not itself a voting requirement.

Can a family vote for a deceased registered member?

No. Voting belongs to the registered member in the official records. A legal transfer and updated membership record are needed before a successor can vote.

I sold my plot after the last AGM, but my name remains on the voter list. Can I vote?

No. Being listed is not enough: the guide says you must also present the original allotment letter or other permitted ownership evidence. A seller who no longer has the required proof cannot vote.

Can flat owners vote?

MPCHS-transferred flat owners may vote where their membership is approved and their name is in the voter list. Privately transferred flats without MPCHS membership are not eligible under the guide.

If a plot is jointly owned, can every owner vote?

Yes, where each joint owner has an individual membership, separate ownership records, and a separate entry in the official voter list. Each eligible owner casts one independent vote.

03 / Documents

Bring the correct originals

Which documents are required to cast my vote?

Bring your original CNIC—or original passport if the CNIC is unavailable—and your original allotment letter. These are used for verification before a ballot is issued.

Can I vote without the original allotment letter?

No. The guide identifies the original allotment letter as mandatory for verification, except where another applicable ownership document is specifically permitted.

My allotment letter is in a bank locker. What should I do?

Collect it before election day and return it to secure storage after voting. Do not leave this until the day of polling.

My property is mortgaged and the originals are with the bank. How can I vote?

Contact the bank well ahead of time. Bring the bank’s documentary confirmation that it holds the original allotment letter and that the property belongs to you, along with any supporting originals.

What should a Multi Gardens Phase-II owner bring if no allotment letter has been issued?

Bring the original CNIC or passport and original membership-fee, instalment-payment, or other ownership documents that support verification.

Can I use photocopies or phone images of my documents?

No. The guide says photocopies, scans, and mobile-phone photographs are not accepted for voter verification. Bring original documents.

I live abroad. Can someone vote on my behalf?

No. Proxy and online voting are not permitted in the guide. The registered voter must be physically present on polling day.

Can I cast my elderly father’s vote for him?

No. Each member must vote personally. Ask volunteers on arrival about available priority assistance for senior citizens instead.

04 / Polling day

Plan your polling day

When and where will polling take place?

According to the guide, polling is on 6 September 2026, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, at F-9 Park, Islamabad. Arrive early and confirm any official updates before travelling.

What if the required quorum is not achieved?

The guide states that first polling requires one-fifth (20%) of registered voters. If it is not achieved, a second round is held according to the official election schedule.

What is the best time to vote?

Morning is recommended for shorter queues, easier parking, and faster verification. Avoid waiting until late afternoon.

What is the last time to enter for voting?

Polling closes at 4:00 PM. The guide says voters must enter the premises before 4:00 PM; no new entry is allowed after that time.

How can I save time on polling day?

Verify your name in advance, note your voter serial and membership numbers, keep your plot number ready, and carry every required original document.

05 / Your ballot

Voting and ballot paper

Do I vote for an entire panel?

No. Voting is individual for each position. Candidates may be grouped on the ballot for convenience, but you may vote across panels.

How many votes can I cast?

The guide says you may cast up to nine votes: one for each elected position, with each vote cast independently.

Must I cast all nine votes?

No. You may leave any position blank. Only votes actually cast are counted, though the guide encourages full participation.

Will the ballot paper be in English or Urdu?

The guide says the ballot paper and candidates’ names will be in Urdu. Familiarise yourself with candidates’ official legal names beforehand.

Will candidates’ full legal names appear?

Yes. Only the legal names submitted with nomination papers appear. Do not rely only on nicknames or commonly used names.

What happens if I stamp outside the box?

A vote may be invalid if the stamp falls outside the box, is unclear, marks more than one candidate for the same position, or makes your intention uncertain. Stamp clearly inside the selected box.

Is the ballot paper anonymous?

Yes. The guide says the ballot does not carry the voter’s name or identity, and the voting process is confidential.

06 / Support

Facilities and assistance

Will transportation be available?

The guide anticipates transport from MPCHS sectors and designated locations where feasible. Confirm routes and timings through official RWA channels before relying on a pickup.

Will transportation be available from Bahria Town?

The guide notes that arrangements are planned. Contact the relevant coordinator or RWA’s official channels for confirmed details.

Will parking be available?

The guide states that parking will be available near the venue and volunteers will guide members. Arriving early should make parking easier.

Can I bring my mobile phone?

Yes. You may bring a phone, drinking water, personal refreshments, and required documents, while following polling staff instructions.

Can I bring my children?

Yes. The guide describes a family-friendly polling environment and permits members to bring young children.

Will there be seating arrangements?

The guide says participating panels commonly provide assistance camps with covered seating, chairs, fans, drinking water, and basic refreshments for members’ convenience.

Are there separate arrangements for women?

Yes. The guide says separate arrangements and female staff are available where required to facilitate women voters.

Are proper security arrangements available?

The guide describes supervision by the District Administration, security support from relevant authorities, and a safe, orderly, family-friendly environment. Follow on-site instructions.

Will senior citizens receive priority?

Yes, where possible. Inform volunteers on arrival if a member has mobility or health needs so they can guide you to available assistance.

Will volunteers be available to assist?

Yes. The guide says volunteers and panel representatives can help with verification, directions, transport information, and general polling questions. Look for official identification.

This is an awareness guide. Official election notices and directions always prevail.
