ISLAMABAD: On February 8, approximately 60.6 million Pakistanis exercised their voting rights in the country’s 12th general elections, up from at least 54.8 million citizens in the 2018 elections, representing an increase of at least 5.8 million voters, according to the Free and Fair Election Network (Fafen) in its post-election analysis report.
However, according to the election watchdog, voter turnout in recent general elections has decreased in comparison to the total number of registered voters. In contrast to the 52.1% voter turnout in 2018, the February 8 polls had a 47.6% turnout.
The drop in turnout, however, can be largely attributable to the increase in registered voters from 106 million in 2018 to 128.6 million.A considerable rise of 22.6 million registered voters between the 2018 and 2024 elections was highlighted by Fafen in its report.
