One of the main reasons PTI suffered in the last few by-elections was due to the inefficient voting registration mechanism. Although this is the responsibility of the Election Commission of Pakistan, who failed to provide guidance and help to many people.
However Pakistan Teehrek-e-Insaf actively urges its members both overseas and in Pakistan to get their vote registered. The process is simple, each one of us should not only make sure their vote is registered, but also guide our families, friends, and neighbours. Spread the message.
Anyone can get his or her vote registered at any given time. To get one’s vote registered, one must be of over the age 18 and have NIC card issued by NADRA. The process is simple but does require some commitment:
o You need to collect a form from the Office of Assistant Election Commissioner/Registration Officer of your area fill it in and submit it to him.
o Things required to fill the form are: Name, Address, photo copy of ID Card. Further details are provided on the form.
o Vote will be registered in the area whose address is written on the ID Card.
