In the countdown to the upcoming general elections in Paki­stan, a significant demographic shift is unfolding—a surge in the number of young voters. With the majority of young voters engaging in the digital realm, there exists a potent potential for them to wield influence through online channels. The sheer volume of young voters has the potential to be a game-changer, especially if they turn out in large numbers on election day. Delving into the geographical distribution, it’s noteworthy that some districts in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa exhib­it particularly high proportions of young voters, surpassing 50 percent. Similarly, in Punjab, Dera Ghazi Khan stands out with 50.87 percent young voters.
