ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Shibli Faraz has said that the government is making efforts to hold the next general elections through electronic voting to ensure transparency and impartiality in elections. This would also enable overseas Pakistanis to partake in the voting.

He said the Prime Minister emphasized on ensuring transparency in elections so that everyone has confidence over the electoral process and no one could raise objections over it.
Shibli Faraz said the PTI’s efforts for the upcoming Senate elections are aimed at ensuring transparency in the process. He said people have also come to know the elements who want use of money in the Senate elections.
The Minister said the Prime Minister issued directives for the departments concerned to take effective steps for checking incidents of rape and sexual assault against women and children. He said the Prime Minister expressed concern that such incidents have not substantially decreased.
Shibli Faraz said the recently passed Inheritance Bill has made the process of acquiring succession certificates easy for legal heirs.
