Pakistan Union Councils

1. Open the spreadsheet for ​Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province (also used by OSM) or ​Other Provinces.
2. Choose a District or Tehsil (a sub region within a district) and search for the Union Councils within the Tehsil.
3. Enter each Union Council in a new row in the spreadsheet, which includes correct Tehsil (or District if that's all that is available)
4. Add the lat and lon, if available, and the Source (wikipedia URL)
5. Putting any villages which you know are in a specific Union Council would be even better.

• We have many villages in Punjab which just need Lat/Lons, looking those up in Geonames (& cross-checking the hierarchy using spatial checks would be ideal)

Potential sources:

• Wikipedia (there are many wiki pages currently not linked well - improving that too could help everyone!):
