Asalamo Alykum,

The Honorable Justice Fakhruddin G. Ibrahim is requested to please speedup the overseas voter’s list and their registration for voting.

E-voting will have to be enabled for them to vote.

Is it possible that the local residents of Pakistan can also opt for e-voting as this will highly increase the voting turnout?

Previously, many people did not vote simply because of lethargy. In the current circumstances, many people will not come out to vote because of the law and order situation and terror threat, especially in sensitive areas.

With regards to this, I would like to repost a technical post which was printed in the Dawn Newspaper on January 3, 2013…

“Pakistan stands on top in the region in terms of the Internet penetration. In Pakistan, about 16 per cent of population use the Internet against 12 per cent in India and five per cent in Bangladesh. Most of the Internet users in Pakistan are its youths. Like postal ballot, the ECP may introduce Internet voting in the upcoming general elections. The Internet voting system can work like the already established postal ballot.
The voters who wish to cast their vote through the Internet can request the ECP well before the polling day.
The ECP can issue an account name and password for each such voter. The ECP can eliminate the names of those voters from voter lists to avoid duplicate voting.
This procedure is simpler than VOI and the cost-intensive DRE voting system in Europe and the US.
Furthermore, it is more transparent and secure due to the central database. By, IRFAN MEHMOOD

May Allah Almighty Help you, Ameen.

Wsalam,
