Islamabad, November 23, 2021 (PPI-OT):President Dr Arif Alvi has said a system is being evolved to facilitate overseas Pakistanis to exercise their right to vote through internet. Addressing overseas Pakistanis in Islamabad on Tuesday, he said the system will be auditable and it cannot be hacked. He expressed the belief that other countries will also emulate this system to facilitate their own citizens.
The President said past rulers had also promised to grant overseas Pakistanis right to vote, but it is the PTI government, which is taking practical steps to this end. He said postal and physical voting at Pakistani missions abroad are not feasible options because of various reasons. Supporting I-voting, the President pointed out that transactions worth trillions of dollars take place daily online. He said overseas Pakistanis play a cardinal role in Pakistan’s economy.
