There exists a significant number of people who are still unaware of the importance of the vote
KARACHI: Considering that 2018 is an election year and only few months are left before the poll procedure will be initiated, it is important that both the federal and provincial governments undertake a campaign to educate the masses about the importance of their vote.
There exists a significant number of people who are still unaware of the importance of the vote and do not intentionally take part in polls. It is important for every citizen of the country to cast their vote — even if it means cancelling it. In fact, not only governments but academic institutions should also educate their students about the power of their vote.
