Video Blog: Wake up and vote

Voter registration is a critical step in bringing change to Pakistan - you can't criticize if you don't vote!

This video was created by Jaag Utho - a youth mobilization campaign by Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI). Jaag Utho volunteers Nasir and Rizwan were the brains behind the video.

Election Commission of Pakistan is conducting a door-to-door voter verification campaign from August 22 to September 30, 2011. In this campaign they will visit each house in Pakistan to verify the electoral lists according to the data given by NADRA.


Voter registration is one of the most critical steps in bringing a change to Pakistan. It is the duty of each and every citizen to use the power of their vote. I especially appeal to the youth of Pakistan to get their votes registered and start awareness campaigns at their educational institutions to spread the message.

Do we have the right to criticize and question the rulers if we don't vote?
