Bilal Gilani, Executive Director Gallup Pakistan presented details in forum organized by PILDAT regarding Youth voter turnout in Pakistan. Gallup Pakistan has been collecting this information since General Elections since 1988.
Findings presented showed that youth voter turnout is even lower than women voter turnout during the past two elections for which women voter turnout figures are available. Average Youth voter turnout estimates are a mere 31.5% compared to 40% for women voter turnout and 53% for average national voter turnout during the last two elections in 2013 and 2018. In India, youth participation in the 2019 General Election exceeded the All-India turnout by approximately 2%.
