The Electoral College of Pakistan is formed by a joint sitting of the six leading political bodies in Pakistan:
So that each province has an equal vote, all provincial assemblies are given exactly 65 votes in the electoral college. This mean that the each member of the Punjab Assembly has 65/371 = 0.175 votes, each member of the Sindh Assembly has 65/168 = 0.387 votes, each member of the NWFP Assembly has 65/124 = 0.524 votes and each member of the Balochistan Assembly has 65/65 = 1 vote.
The below table shows the results of the confidence vote by each chamber. For the four provinces, the results show the weighted votes (i.e. pro-rated to a total of 65 votes).
