Cabinet approves ordinances on EVM use, overseas voting rights​


ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Technology Fawad Chaudhry on Tuesday announced that the federal cabinet has approved two ordinances regarding the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs) and voting rights for overseas Pakistanis, ARY NEWS reported.

Sharing details regarding decisions taken during the cabinet meeting headed by PM Imran Khan in a presser, Fawad Chaudhry said that through an ordinance the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has been authorized to use EVM.
Another ordinance has given the ECP authority regarding voting rights for the overseas Pakistanis,” the information minister said while lamenting that certain people do not know the powers rested with the Parliament.

He said that the government has fulfilled its responsibility regarding legislation on the matter. “Technological work is to be done on biometric and e-voting,” he said adding that they have appointed a consultant to finalize recommendations in this regard.

He said that after the ordinance, it is upto the ECP to include overseas Pakistanis in the voting process.

The meeting has also granted succession certificate facility to overseas Pakistanis besides also giving nod to issuing a commemorative coin on 100 years of establishment of NED University.

Fawad Chaudhry further said that a supreme coordination council is being established between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to enhance cooperation between the two countries. “We have signed a key MoU with Saudis on climate change that will help employment of Pakistani labour in the kingdom,” he said.

Furthermore commenting on the ECP decision on by-poll in NA-249 regarding the recount of votes, Fawad Chaudhry said that extreme rigging was carried out in the by-poll and there was no justification for a recount. “The PTI demands a re-poll in the constituency,” he said.

Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and Voting Rights For Overseas Pakistanis ( VRfOP) must be the least priority of Khan's Government .

These two things are " TRUCK KE BUTTI"

PTI Government should concentrate their limited resources and limited power to improve the economy of Pakistan.

الیکشن کمیشن یہ دو نمبری کرتے ہیں کہ جب بیرون ملک پاکستانیوں کی ووٹ رجسٹریشن کرتے ہیں تو صرف ان لوگوں کا کرتے ہیں جنکے پاس پاکستانی پاسپورٹ ہو۔۔۔ حالانکہ یہ صرف نائکوب پہ ہونے چاہیے۔ پھر بہت لوگوں کی رجسٹریشن ہو سکتی ہے۔۔

الیکشن کمیشن کو پتہ ہے کہ زیادہ تر بیرون ملک پاکستانیوں کے پاس نائکوپ ہیں اور یہ بھی پتہ ہے کہ ان کے ووٹ عمران خان کو جانے ہیں۔ اپنی غلامی کا حق ادا کرنے کے لیے الیکشن کمیشن بیرون ملک پاکستانیوں کے لیے ضرور مشکلات کھڑا کرے گا۔

One of the top priority is reforming including voting rights and electoral reforms. You talking your back side, economy is different team and Parliament reform is different team. With this old system system pmln and Ppp is giving there candidates 25/30 thousand leads in every constituency. They winning election without any performance. Think patwari think first before talking

آپکی بات ? فیصد ٹھیک ہے۔۔۔اسے بطورِ آزمائش ایک ضمنی الیکشن میں دہرایا تھا اور لوگوں کو یہی شکایت تھی کہ ہر ایک کے پاکستان پاسپورٹ نہیں ہوتا تو الیکشن کمیشن کے دلالوں نے پاسپورٹ کی شرط لازمی کیوں رکھی تھی؟ اسلیے بہت کم لوگوں ووٹ رجسٹر کرا سکے۔ اور الیکشن کمیشن اور اپوزیشن چور پارٹیوں کو جواز مل گیا کہ دیکھا بیرونِ ملک پاکستانی تو دلچسپی ہی نہیں لے رہے۔

دونوں آپشن ہونے چاہیے تب جاکے بہت سے ووٹ رجسٹر ہونگے اور ووٹ ڈلینگے

Electronic voting is the best solution to beat the corrupt mafia at this point.

No party can compete and win against PMLN and PPP with 25,000 to 30,000 fake votes in every constituency.

With e-voting or voting machines, it will certainly improve the whole voting process but there has to be 2 factors authentication before allowing someone to e-vote. This will make it easy to do audit and recounts if needed.
