I am always confused with the term “Over-seas Pakistani” i hope this step will help removing that confusion.

As per constitution of Pakistan, only Pakistani national can vote, now if i am not wrong here over-whelming majority of Pakistani ( apart from one living in gulf countries) either have nationality of a particular country or are in process to have one… the one who have got the nationality of US for example, need to get a visa to get entry in Pakistan, although by their looks, heritage, language and tradition, they are Pakistanies but by passport they are Americans.. so would these kind of people will be allowed to vote?

Not really, US and Pakistan allow dual nationality. In order for a Pakistani to hold US passport he doesn’t have to give up Pakistani passports. Those who give up Pakistani passports in order to visit India require visa to enter Pakistan. There may be other countries who don’t allow dual citizenship, in that case they won’t have Pakistani passports hence they shouldn’t be able to vote.
