We have recently been talking about whether people think that they should at all vote in these elections and it is clear from reports that the turnout has been rather low. But it seems that like in all elections there are some who you cannot keep away from polling, even if you wanted to. Here are some images of Pakistanis at Elections 2008.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
It seems on the surface that elections have taken place peacefully in the main which is good news. Rigging has of course occured all over and even though it is too early to make accurate predictions it seems the masses have made their voices heard.

Rizwan, it’s too early to say that about Nawaz Sharif. Let us still keep our fingers crossed, and hope for the best!
Nice pictures but the view seems to be that turnout was much less than expected, no?
I am sure Nawaz Sharif is winning and sad that he has only talked about making it even with everyone. This means his mission will be only revenge. People fell for this man.
Some incidents here and there but not by Musharraf by individuals of Parties. They should be arrested and in those area’s they should re-do the election. Keep it simple and clear.
