 The National Assembly decides on the establishment of electronic voting devices


Electronic voting machines (EVMs) are being considered for use in the upcoming elections, but the incumbent government has approved a bill in the Pakistan National Assembly against their use. Foreigners can also vote with electronic voting machines through I-Voting, but they have now been deprived of this right by this bill.
According to the Pakistani newspaper Dawn, the bill was approved by the Senate on Friday.
According to Pakistan's Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar, the law restores the original 2017 election law, which guarantees free, fair and transparent elections. The 2017 electoral law was amended by the PTI administration through the Electoral Act (Second Amendment), 2021, which gives Pakistani governors the right to vote in general elections. The PML-N added that the Pakistan Electoral Commission (ECP) was unable to conduct elections through I-Vote and EVM without proper homework, even in a short period of time.
The minister also said that her government was not against the use of technology, but could not conduct and conduct elections with EVM in one day. According to the minister, EVM technology has been misused in general elections in the past and has not produced fair results.

PML-N also added that foreign Pakistanis are important assets and her government is not in a position to deny her voting rights.
On the other hand, the PTI government sharply criticized the changes to the electoral law, calling them a "regressive and condemned act" of the PML-N government, led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Shareef. PTI Vice President Shah Mahmood Qureshi tweeted

"PTI has given more than nine million Pakistanis the right to vote abroad." Now this group of thieves and robbers is canceling it, a shocking number of Pakistanis are depriving them of their rights and banning the use of electronic voting machines. "

On the other hand, Ghous Bakhsh Mehr, the legislator of the Great Democratic Alliance (GDA), said that EVMs are widely used around the world and that Pakistan should at least try to use them. He added that if EVMs are not available at national level, they should be used in some areas.
At a meeting of the National Assembly, the costs were shared in the upcoming general election. According to the election supervisory authority, the total cost of the new polls will be Rs 47.41 billion, of which security costs are almost Rs 15 billion. The cost of Rs 4.83 billion will be spent on ballot printing, while Rs 5.6 billion will be spent on electronic voting and another Rs 1.79 billion will be spent on training polling station staff at EVM.
