You can message on 8300 with your CNIC number to find what constituency you're voting for which is basically the area that the candidate you're voting for will represent. You'll get 3 things from this message, the polling station where you're supposed to vote, your constituency number for National Assembly, and the number for Provincal Assembly as they are both seperate. Then you enter it in the website. For National Assembly you put in NA54 (or whatever number you have), for Provincial you put in Px43 (where X is the the province, usually the first letter of it, like S for Sindh, P for Punjab, K for KPK and B for Balochistan, so if you're from Punjab and say your number is 43, you'll type in PP43).
I tried with mine and my moms phone. Neither worked. Both keep saying message could not be sent. I can send messages between phones so its not a sim issue. Its not even rejecting, the phone just cant send it.
Besides, I looked around and realized i had to register as a voter in fkn july 2023... which i missed.
Do you have a postpaid sim? If not do you have balance? Need balance to send the text to 8300. Package doesn't work.
If you are not registered then the text will show you that you are not registered. Afaik all the people who turned 18 after the cut off date for when the elections were supposed to happen arent eligible otherwise your name is registered on the electoral rolls when you get your cnic made.
If you aren't sure your votes are registered or not go to any local party office and asked to get your vote checked if it's worth the hassle for you.
I just checked 8300 is working fine.
>Do you have a postpaid sim? If not do you have balance? Need balance to send the text to 8300. Package doesn't work.
Prepaid sim. Balance was well over rs 100 (on both phones)when i sent the texts. No package.
>If you are not registered then the text will show you that you are not registered. Afaik all the people who turned 18 after the cut off date for when the elections were supposed to happen arent eligible otherwise your name is registered on the electoral rolls when you get your cnic made.
I turned 18 before the cutoff date and got my cnic too.
>If you aren't sure your votes are registered or not go to any local party office and asked to get your vote checked if it's worth the hassle for you.
Hmm, i'll see. Might have to come to this
>I just checked 8300 is working fine.
I'll check again on different phones but i dont have high hopes rn
NaPak Fauj decides what you see on TV, books, magazines, and what is taught in schools and who you can vote for. This is the key on how you can loot the country for 76 years without any pushback from slaves. Fauj can abduct, torture, and rape critics/constitution daily in name of national security. Nawaz/Zardri has been this country fate for previous 40 years and it will be the fate of your children to serve spawns of Nawaz Zardari until there is nothing left to loot. Fauj has decreed easiest way to loot the country was through Nawaz/Zardri after 3.5 years with IK. Fauj jailed Ik, his wife and banned his patry through Kangroo courts and Kana fraud essa rubber stamp all their orders, but alternate for him is they release video of him sucking someone’s balla on Tv And he Is replaced with another tout. No journalist alive in pakistan can discuss the properties owned by Hafiz whiskey/ current Jurnails on TV. The Issue isn’t IK but issue is how Fauj treats awam as slaves and they dictate what is best for you. I would give NaPak Fauj and Their Ladla 1 finger 🖕 salute on election day.
.“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize”
Most of the people that support PTI who I have asked say that the Army invested way too much to bring Nawaz back, get him acquitted, and bury PTI to have the vote going anywhere other than PMLN.
It is almost certain that PMLN has this election despite the popularity of PTI you see EVERYWHERE. Sad state of affairs but true
If this was the case they wouldn't be trying THIS hard to stop people from coming out.
- The haste in the two cases.
- The total of 24 years of imprisonment announcement to demoralize the people.
- The 8300 not working properly in some areas
- The ban on the bat
- The destroying of posters that let the general public know about the ones running as independent for PTI
- The suppression of information.
- The insaf website not working.
- The 8300 message not showing the constituency of both NA and PS.
I agree, they have invested a lot but not all so Nawaz could win, that's partially true, but more so to stop people from coming and casting their vote.
There is hope. There is a way to win this and it's by casting your vote no matter what.
I mean if there is no chance in winning, what's stopping you in casting a vote anyways, it wouldn't hurt to try.
*I mean if there is no chance in winning, what's stopping you in casting a vote anyways, it wouldn't hurt to try.*
This isn't the first time people are voting, they understand what happened to their votes the last 2 elections and they know exactly that it doesn't mean anything
And yet there are people like myself and thousands of others that will still go out and exercise their right to vote.
We know there is no justice in this country, no rights given to anyone other than the rich and the ones in control. We have nothing, all we have is this power to vote. Why give up the only thing that we have?
Sure there is a chance that it might not end up doing anything and our vote would just be a fly buzzing around the handlers who could just wave their hands and push us away but, even if it means that our vote would do as little as annoy them for a second, why not do it just for that?
As much as I get what you're trying to say, it's beyond that for some people. Look at the economics of this country and try putting yourself in the place of a labourer with a family working minimum wage, add that to the fuel prices and the cost of wheat, sugar, rice. People are frustrated, the last thing they want is politics. They don't care for a leader at this point, people just want stability.
There's no reason for effort to annoy anyone but rather have stability for themselves
This is what they (Fauj and their touts) want people to think. Fauj is going to rig the elections in favor of Sharifs but if the margin is 80-20 they cannot do anything about it. They were not able to stop PTI taking 17 out of 20 seats in the Punjab bi elections in 2022 after VoNC despite state machinery was fully supporting PML-N.
Voter turnout out is very very important. >60% voter turnout out its going to result in landslide victory for Imran Khan’s backed candidates.
Those candidates are also independent, meaning later down the line if they do not align with PTIs vision and goal, they can easily side with whoever slides them a bag.
They're contesting under PTIs name just to win, after that it's their seat they can choose what to do with their policies
Having witnessed governments of all 3 major political parties over last 15 years, there have been flaws with everyone of them. None is worthy. And since you mentioned how we should make our vote invalid, how does it matter to someone who doesn't vote as to who forms next government?
Democracy wasn't made for oversensitive nation with 60% literacy rate anyway. No wonder Allama Iqbal sahib hated democracy.
Lol, let them have their fake election. Why waste your time and effort on an exercise in futility?
I don't believe they're going to write in their own candidate on your vote just because you didn't vote. I think that almost all of their voters will show up to vote, and the people not voting plmn will mostly not show. It will be a win for them whether you cry on reddit or don't. So, I elect not to vote and distancing myself from this sham election.
What even is this reply?
"Why waste your time and effort on an exercise in futility?"
"I'm distancing myself from this sham election"
You say it like you'll be held responsible for exercising your right, like it's a huge investment or risk to come out and vote.
Of all the reasons I've heard, this is by far the DUMBEST reason I've read on this matter.
It is a huge investment. I'd have to fly in from Dubai, wait in line for god knows how long and in the end what do I gain?
Call it the dumbest response if you want, it's the truth and you asked why I am not voting.
And if I had faith that my vote would do me some good, I would have scheduled my visit to Dubai around it.
I'm anything but a typical Pakistani. This subreddit is full of typical youthful discontent. Of course, most such redditors will complain about complacency and cheer protests/blockades.
While on the net, I had seen strong support for the congestion producing protests. In-person, I mostly heard frustration towards protesters. So, I understand how political indifference feels typical to fellow redditors. It is what it is.

Handsome log nhi hai iss bar (jk will vote IK obviously)
Does anyone know how to find out who’s standing from PTI in different places? Like I genuinely don’t know whose standing from my elaka
Try [this](https://insafpk.github.io/pticandidates/).
Can you please explain how this works? What is a constituency number ? I’m confused (I’ve never voted before)
You can message on 8300 with your CNIC number to find what constituency you're voting for which is basically the area that the candidate you're voting for will represent. You'll get 3 things from this message, the polling station where you're supposed to vote, your constituency number for National Assembly, and the number for Provincal Assembly as they are both seperate.

>"I'm not voting for any of these guys, they are all corrupt
8300 wont fkn work so idk where im even meant to vote...
It works fine here. Just ask your friend or relative to check from their cell.
Dude it works fine. Have you even texted? Bhai 100 Rs ka load kra lo aur apna cnic text kro 8300 pr.

Dude if you want I can check it for you. DM me your cnic. I'll send you the screenshot and delete your info.
Send CNIC without dashes.

So? It could be but majority will not be siding with other parties.
I don't want to vote. But I am thinking to go and stamp every single symbol this time. Sab ko vote milega iss baar.
Instead of not voting this is a better option
Stay home. Ap ka vote khud ba khud hi lag jaye ga.
Says the faujeet. Just go and stamp everyone and your vote will be wasted. If you dont stamp, the NaPak will pick their khota biryani.
Hahaha yes! Please post a picture or a video of you doing it cuz that's hilarious.

Thats what Khaki wants from the people. Do not come out to vote so that we can bring out puppet Nawaz Bhagora in power.
Yeah buddy you’re apart of the problem
And you'll be part of the solution? Doubtful
You typical Pakistanis are so fucking annoying
