The elections are nearing day by day. A large number of Pakistanis live abroad and masses that can bring about the change. So, I want to know if there is a way that Pakistanis abroad can vote? I myself will not be in the country next year, so what is the method to vote?

Re: Can Pakistanis abroad vote as well?
As per my info, they cant but the SHOULD get the right to vote.
Overseas Pakistanis contribute to the country's economy significantly, they should have right to vote through mail or from Pakistani consulates and embassies like many other countries. According to Election Commission of Pakistan there are around 7-10 million overseas Pakistanis. This is a too large pool of voters to miss.

^even the Americans had doubts over their overseas votes…the 2000 elections which Bush won..
what transparency do you expect if Pakistan were to have that??
You might remember that the PPPP High Commissioner in England went to Switzerland, got the evidence from the court …
Re: Can Pakistanis abroad vote as well?
Thats what i think too Decent. There is a vast majority of educated overseas Pakistanis who can genuinely make a big contribution in the voting. I myself would not be in Pakistan the next 2 years & i just cant afford missing out on voting specially in these conditions of Pakistan.
