The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) announced that the registered voter count in Pakistan will reach 133.4 million by 2025, an increase of over 747,000 from last year’s total of 132.67 million.
The data, released on March 27, 2025, reflects a growing electorate. However, it also reveals a persistent gender gap, with male voters significantly outnumbering their female counterparts nationwide.
The ECP reports that of the total voters, 71.65 million are men (53.71%), while 61.76 million are women (46.29%). This disparity highlights ongoing challenges in achieving gender parity in voter registration nationwide.
