Expats’
votes
This is with reference
to your editorial ‘Expats’ votes’ (November 1). The facility of voting by post
should also be given to those who need it within the country, for instance the
thousands of Pakistanis working in cities away from their hometowns and
villages where they are registered as voters.
In my own case, I will
have to drive 16 kilometres to cast my vote, and even though I tried hard to
get my name transferred to a polling station near my residence, I did not
succeed. I am willing to pay the required charges if I’m allowed to post my
ballot paper to the polling station if the Election Commission allows me to
vote by post.
