A voter’s woe

Published May 11, 2013

In Karachi’s NA-245, some persons present at a polling station were not letting the voters to cast their votes. Moreover, election commission staff was also seen to be compelling voters to vote for a particular party. There were also activists of a political party who kept asking voters who they were voting for. The polling staff also appeared to be in a hurry and in the end they were also entertaining those who came without their CNICs.
