Dawn reporting it as well, and they are definitely not pro-PTI.
These complaints, which also include some by those who claim their votes had been cancelled by the commission after it wrongly registered them as having died, started pouring in after the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf asked citizens to confirm their voter registration information with the ECP by messaging their Identity Card (CNIC) numbers to 8300.
Since then, dozens of Twitter users have posted screenshots of updates made to their polling stations, which have been changed from the ones allocated during the 2018 general election, and in some cases have been moved quite far away from their areas of residence.
One social media user said his polling station, which was just 700 metres from his house, had been moved six kilometres away. Another complained that his polling station was now located 20 kilometres away from his area of residence.
Another user said that some voters had been "thrown as far as few hundred miles".
Dawn.com has confirmed that polling stations have been changed without intimation after some staffers used the commission's SMS service to find out that their stations had been moved away from those previously allocated. However, some people said no changes were made to their polling station data.
Dawn.com has reached out to the Election Commission of Pakistan to explain these changes but has not received a response so far.
Talking to Dawn.com, PTI leader Zulfi Bukhari said these measures were an attempt to weaken the PTI's "strong areas".
He said these changes were being done haphazardly "without much thought with only one purpose, to weaken PTI strongholds".
Journalist Amir Zia said the ECP had "messed up" and countless voters would have to go to far off places to exercise their voting right.
Journalist Sumaira Jajja said she had ECP messages from September and December which showed old polling stations. "When did the change to new polling station happen? Checking up with family and friends, this isn't just limited to Karachi," she said.
PTI MPA Riaz Haider alleged that his vote had been cancelled as the ECP data suggested he had died. He lashed out at the chief election commissioner and raised concerns about the institution's performance over such an error.
Khawaja Khalid Farooq, former head of the National Counter Terrorism Authority of Pakistan, said there was something "seriously wrong" with the "inconvenient displacement" of voting centres.
"What is this nonsense. Will ECP explain?" he asked.

Some messages from the ECP apparently showed final and unfinalised polling station locations. One social media user raised questions about what that differentiation meant.
"This will be massive pre-poll rigging if voter's constituencies are managed like this," she said.
One person alleged that it was a plan by the ECP to distribute the PTI's vote bank to far-flung areas to "make it impossible for voters to reach their polling booths on election day".
'Pre-poll rigging?': Citizens question ECP over changes in polling stations
Social media has been rife with complaints in the last 48 hours that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has changed voter registration data of several citizens without informing them, with most claiming that their polling stations had been moved by the election watchdog to inconvenient locations much farther than their previous allocations.These complaints, which also include some by those who claim their votes had been cancelled by the commission after it wrongly registered them as having died, started pouring in after the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf asked citizens to confirm their voter registration information with the ECP by messaging their Identity Card (CNIC) numbers to 8300.

'Pre-poll rigging'
Journalists, politicians and citizens expressed concern and anger at these changes, raising questions about whether it was an attempt at pre-poll rigging to manipulate the elections.Talking to Dawn.com, PTI leader Zulfi Bukhari said these measures were an attempt to weaken the PTI's "strong areas".

Anyone thinking that they can win freedom by peaceful protests and petitions in kangroo courts of East India Company is fool and IK is chief of those fools. We must bring down the "SYSTEM" in place to keep us enslaved instead of working within "SYSTEM".

I submitted by application to change my voting location from my hometown to my current city of residence about 3 weeks ago.
The guy said it will be done in about 10 days, but still nothing.
Let's hope they get it done.

ECP is heavily compromised so no chance of free and fair elections, that is precisely why EVM voting has been scrapped, I shouldn't be saying this but the direction Pakistan is heading quickly towards civil disobedience.

Elections are illusion. The 74 years of history proved it.
