Re: Voting in Pakistan
How old do you have to be to vote in Pakistan? Can you only vote in the district/region you're an official resident of or can you vote from anywhere in Pakistan? Can you mail-in your vote?
Beiti...you ahve to be 18 to be eligible to cast your voe...a riht given to all to excercise for the betterment of your country.
A voter must possess a CNIC (Computerized National Identification Card) of NADRA (National Data Registeration Authority).
However..there is a special drive to register voters with their given addresses at areas etc.
On polling day....there are schools, houses etc..where the polling booths are set. You go in by showing your CNIC and after receiving permenant ink on your thumb. Thereafter, they see your nae and address on the list and give a clearance and you go in at a covered booth to cast your vote in boxes marked with candidates logo....
The sad part is that there is no proxy for the vote. If you are out of country BUT a registered voter.....your vote is lost....is you are not there.
Khush Rahein....aur ye bohat acchee baat hai k aap ko apne voter honay ki fikr hai......
