    Its needed for every little thing, including getting a SIM card. Keep tying it up with more and more services - and I thin it is already needed to cast a vote. So ultimately you can sort of 'save' your choice before hand as per your convenience.

    The only problem I see to this is the issue of anonymity.

    Those who dont bother to cast their vote on the election day have no right to criticise the system and government.

    Voting should be compulsory for every one and all those who do not cast their vote should be penalized at least 100 Rs. through their electricity bill for one month.

    For most of Pakistanis election day is nothing but yet another holiday with watching TV, movie and dine out.

    No need for such stick measures, we should encourage people and simply the electoral process.

    The number of cell phone users and eligilble voters in Pakistan are almost similar 85 million. ALong with electronic voting machines their has to be some method of casting votes through mobile phones.

    Excuse me but we have full right to not vote when all the parties are just as corrupt as each other. Why should we be forced to vote for the lesser devil (PTI) than to not vote at all and bring the system of democracy down?

    There are millions of Pakistanis who thinks in the similar way, that all are corrupt except them and since they are the only Walli Allah left in this country so why should they vote any corrupt persons who is Not Walli Allah also.

    Actually people are lazy and they think it is not worth their time .. There should be an option for void vote ..if someone sees devil in every candidate he is free to cast his void vote .. I dont think after taking all the pain to go to the booth many people will opt for void ..

    Why should we be forced to go to the booth at all? It's our right to do or not do anything

    No constitutional article gives you the right to not murder either. It doesn't give you the right to not steal either. So that's arguing stupidity

    If all candidates can only destroy the country, why vote? Instead if we all don't vote, army will be forced to take over

    Dear tell me one thing, how it is your right not to vote?
    By the way, you and all those who don't want to vote, they should give application to Election commission to de-list their names.

    Quite frankly dude, your argument appears to be more stupid.

    Since we have millions of walli Allah type people in our country who are pious, and honest who thinks that all are corrupt except them so Why dont you become a candidate. I promise I will vote you.

    (Oh sorry by your logic, Y should i vote, its a useless activity).

    Personal attacks

    You did not at all argue the logic

    I never said I wasn't corrupt. That I am pious or honest. But that doesn't mean I'll vote for someone just because he may be slightly better than me.
    Fat chance though. MQM, PPP and PML-N are murderers. PTI is a traitor to the army and JUI and ANP are hypocrites.
    So I am better

    @truthseer
    not voting is also an option in democracy .. It means" i have full faith in my fellow citizens that they will vote for a good representative ..and i will be glad to be represented by the candidate who wins .."
    now voting or not voting is your decision
