Pakistan Votes is an apolitical campaign asking Pakistanis to either cast one's vote or to void one's vote. The underlying philosophy of the campaign generates from the fact that the 2008 electoral list hosted 40 million ghost voters (multiple entries, voters registered without authentic identification). Bogus votes get casted under the pretext of unverified voters and also under the names of those who fail to show up.

In 2008, roughly 35 million votes were casted. The voter population of Pakistan is ~ 80 million. Some quick math, if we remove the 40 million bogus voters from the 2008 electoral list, we're left with 40 million 'genuine' voters. Now out of those 40 million, 35 million casted their votes. A 90% voter turnout? Really? Here's the real question, how many rigged votes were casted using ghost votes or even under our names because we were no-shows? 10 million? 20 million? 30 million?

Do you like being taken advantage of? Haven't you had enough? Come election time, if there's no candidate you'd like to vote for, then go to the polling booth regardless and make your vote void (how do you void a vote -- simple -- select multiple candidates on your ballot! Did you seriously need to be told how it's done?). Pakistan Votes is not in for the "video hits/likes" -- all the campaign seeks is that you act responsibly by protecting your vote. And this isn't a one time effort, Pakistanis have to vote every time there are elections, every single time. We must stop rigging, we must stop our votes from being misused. The system has to be detoxed, there's no quick fix, let's begin cleaning our mess.

The initiative is not backed by any sponsorships, or any political agenda. It is purely youth driven. A grand total of PKR 5,000 was utilised on this effort.

  • Good awareness campaign keep it up pls is soe hoe kom ko jagao :)

  • Now after five years of complaining, bickering, cribbing and tolerating, we will have our chance. The most crucial in these daunting circumstances. Let your voice be heard. Vote. And as the uber cool youth that we portray to be, take a picture of your thumb. Upload it as your dp. Make voting the "in" thing. Utilize FB and pressurize your peers. Silence is violence and in 2013, it will be criminal. LET THE THUMBS UNITE. COLOR THEM BLUE. Think.

  • This is an independent effort to get individuals to vote (or void vote) in order to minimise rigging - the campaign supports no political party. Having said, we have to keep the comments clean of any support for any political party - please don't take this personally. Who you vote for is your private decision and as such should not be broadcasted using this video as a platform.

  • Right way to get people educate, but where is media why our media is not taking part in this copaighn
