The reference must be signed by at least one-fourth of the total members of that parliamentary party in that house. It should also contain specific allegations and evidence supporting the claim of defection.
<script type="text/javascript">
atOptions = {
'key' : '27444b4d291040302da9ccc37738978f',

</script>
Upon receiving a reference, the Speaker or Chairman is required to refer it to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) within three days. The ECP then has thirty days to decide on the matter. During this period, the member in question is given an opportunity to submit a written reply and present his or her case before the ECP.
<script type="text/javascript">
atOptions = {
'key' : '27444b4d291040302da9ccc37738978f',

</script>
If the ECP determines that a member has indeed defected from his or her party, it shall issue an order declaring the seat vacant. The member will be disqualified from being a member of parliament and will not be eligible to contest any election for a period of five years from the date of disqualification.
<script type="text/javascript">

It is important to note that Article 63A only applies to members elected on reserved seats for women and non-Muslims, as well as those elected on general seats through proportional representation.
