Has anyone noticed how it is not possible to vote with older NICOP cards as opposed to the more recent smart NICOP cards for overseas Pakistanis?

Some of my family members have new smart NICOP cards. I have an older NICOP card. The newer smart NICOP got registered in an instant though: https://www.overseasvoting.gov.pk/i-voting/

Mine older NICOP shows an error:

What the heck is going on?

I have Smart NICOP + MRP but have same problem, I think it's because there's no election in constituency where my vote is registered.

The deadline for overseas Pakistanis to register on the i-voting website launched by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) expired on Monday 9am, DawnNews TVreported.

Out of 790,000 Pakistanis living abroad, of which 631,909 were eligible for i-voting, only 7,419 people registered to vote out of 11,000 accounts created on the website. The registration period lasted for 17 days.

The ECP had launched the Overseas Voting System on Sept 1 for by-elections in 37 constituencies for both national and provincial assembly seats that are to be held on Oct 14. The ECP will email voter passes to all registered voters from Oct 10-14 through which they will be able to log in to the website.

Voting procedure for overseas Pakistanis
On polling day, the registered voters shall log in to the website using their credentials and enter the 'voter pass' emailed to him by the ECP. This will direct the voter to their registered national and provincial assembly constituencies to enable them to cast their vote.

ARTICLE CONTINUES AFTER AD
A designated list of candidates of the selected constituency will be displayed by the system and the voter shall select the election symbol of their candidate to cast their vote. Upon successful submission of the vote, a “confirmation” message will be displayed on the screen.

Correction: An earlier version of this story stated the number of overseas Pakistanis to be 7.9 million. The correct figure is 790,000.

I tried registering and it did not let me, maybe because I have older NICOP. I know several people who have the same situation.



P.S I didn't even know there was a "new" NICOP, mine was issued just in 2015.

There is complication . Those who have NICOP they have to have machine readable passport. Here is the issue, if you have NICOP then why need a passport. If someone has British passport and NICOP , then why he must have passport too..... it makes no sense . To register , we have to have passport too.

Many people who live in Gulf countries don't have excess to internet and the process is way to complicated for some people. With this online system they also could have allowed people to vote in Pakistani Embassy and consulates.
And how many of these voters have elections in their constituencies.

Turkey has been doing this for ages and all they do is go and vote in their consulates. Just like you would be voting back home in your polling station, all you need is proof of identification.
