ISLAMABAD: Despite comprehensive campaigns launched throughout the country, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) could not narrow the gap between male and female voters’ list, which is still exceeding the mark of 10 million.
Low percentage of women voters is apparently due to their non-seriousness towards getting CNICS, which are mandatory for enrollment in the eligible voters’ list.
An ECP official reveals that although the ratio of female voters has witnessed an increase of 24.29 percent as compared to the election-2013 but the target to narrow the gap between male and female voters had not been achieved. He said in the upcoming election, around 105.955,409 million eligible voters will exercise their right to elect members of National and Provincial assemblies.
As per the available data, around 59.224262 million male and 46.731145 million female voters will cast their votes in the upcoming elections.
