===In law and Constitution===

The [[Constitution of Pakistan]] more broadly and briefly defines how general elections (to a basic extent) are conducted, giving the time of elections, and the framework under which the elections are to be conducted, in Article 222–226 in chapter 2:

# No Person shall, at the same time, be a member of, both houses ([[National Assembly of Pakistan|National Assembly]] and [[Senate of Pakistan|Senate]]) or a House and a Provincial Assemblies. 
# When the National Assembly or a Provincial Assembly is dissolved, a general election to the Assembly shall be held within a period of ninety days after the dissolution, and the results of the election shall be declared not later than fourteen days after the conclusion of the polls.
