Election to assembly shall be held within — days on expiry of its term?

According to Article 224(1) of the Constitution of Pakistan, a general election to the National Assembly or a Provincial Assembly must be held within 60 days of the date on which the term of the Assembly expires. This constitutional provision ensures a timely and orderly transition of power, maintaining democratic continuity and preventing prolonged periods without elected representation.

• 90 days is the period specified for holding elections if an assembly is dissolved *before* the expiry of its term (e.g., by the President or Governor).
• 120 and 70 days are incorrect periods and do not align with the constitutional requirements for holding elections upon the expiry of an assembly's term.
