Abstract

Over the years, the average voter turnout in Pakistan General Elections has been around 45%, ranking Pakistan among countries with the lowest turnout in the world. Some of the reasons contributing to this low turnout were found to be lack of trust in the electoral system and hesitancy to travel to the polling stations. The aim of this research is to suggest ways to increase the voter turnout in Pakistan. Our work is targeted towards the educated voters but it can be applied to the rest of the population as well. The survey conducted indicated that use of Internet Voting could reduce these issues.
