Pakistan Elections 2018: News and Discussions

[S.R.H. Hashmi]

What measures are being taken to avoid prepoll rigging? I cant think of any? Can anyone enlighten on this? Are overseas Pakistanis given the right to vote?

Overseas Pakistanis won't be allowed to vote even this year. What shame

He is Sadiq by name, but is he actually so in the real sense of the word?
And what about being Ameen?

I will try to update all news related to General Election 2018 here

But equipped with a ticket, and winning he election would definitely place you in an even better position to serve Islam and Pakistan, which means the ticket does matter

A perpetually angry twin brother would have been a better description

Overseas Pakistan should be given the right of vote

Of course. Being away from Pakistan and not facing daily hardships that living in Pakistan involves, they remember Pakistan fondly and favourably, remembering only good things about it. And they also help us a lot with valuable foreign exchange.

If the affidavits were the real reason behind Saifullah family's decision not to participate in the elections, I would say that Supreme Court's medicine was working

No electronic voting machines/biometric system implementation to stop rigging on election day?

Overseas Pakistanis still can't vote.

Essentially just another election like 2008, 2013 etc. Same old corrupt system. Not even interested in these "selections"....

Pakistan is a lost cause

Considering how our corrupt and inept officials misuse technology, I think electronic voting machines would be a disaster if used now.

I am getting the sense, these elections will be a disaster for Pakistan if they went ahead. The writing on the wall is clear.

most likely there will be a lot of chaos in punjab. patwaris will damage polling stations and other govt and public property.
