More women register as voters than men in Khyber Agency
[DAWN] LANDI KOTAL: More women registered as voters than men during the registration campaign in the two National Assembly constituencies of Khyber Agency ... the place to go if you've got an Indiana Jones hat and whip. Chock full of high adventure and treacherous Pathans. You should really train up to it, though...for the forthcoming general elections. Eligible female voters from NA-45 (Bara) showed more keenness to exercise their democratic right of voting by registering themselves in a larger number than male voters in the same constituency. According to official record obtained from the Election Commission of Pakistain, Khyber Agency offices, 52,585 new female voters were registered in the voter registration campaign which started in June 2016 compared to 32,087 newly-registered male voters in Bara. The total number of women voters in Bara, NA-45 constituency, for 2013 general elections was 53,373 which had now soared to 105,958. The male voters increased from 108,354 in 2013 to 140,441 till the end of March this year. Posted by: Fred 2018-04-23 |
