In a key development ahead of Pakistan’s upcoming general elections, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has updated the national electoral roll, revealing that the country now has 134,428,577 registered voters as of July 1, 2025. This milestone reflects the ECP’s ongoing efforts to strengthen democratic participation and maintain a transparent, accurate, and inclusive electoral system.
The latest voter data shows a notable gender split, with male voters accounting for 72,124,209 (53.65%) and female voters at 62,344,368 (46.35%). While the gap remains, the rising number of registered women is a positive indicator of growing civic engagement, particularly among historically underrepresented groups.
Regionally, Punjab leads the voter count with 76.5 million registered voters, followed by Sindh with over 28.1 million, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) with 22.8 million, Balochistan with 5.6 million, and Islamabad Capital Territory with 1.2 million voters. These figures mirror the population distribution across the provinces and underline the need for region-specific voter education and outreach.
This update is a critical part of Pakistan’s electoral preparation, ensuring that each eligible citizen is counted and empowered to vote. The ECP’s continued partnership with NADRA and its commitment to digital transparency have helped enhance accuracy and reduce duplication in the voter database. Moreover, this progress supports initiatives aimed at addressing voter disenfranchisement and improving polling access for marginalized communities.
As the election timeline approaches, the record number of registered voters demonstrates both institutional progress and public readiness for meaningful participation. With technology-led reforms, updated voter rolls, and a larger electorate than ever before, Pakistan is moving toward a more accountable and future-ready democratic process.
