Nasirabad’s voter registration rate stands at 43% of its estimated 2025 population — 11 percentage points below the national ratio of 54%.

Methodology

These figures are drawn from district-wise electoral roll statistics released by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on 30 December 2025. They are cross-referenced against population estimates derived from the 2023 Digital Census. The 2025 population estimate applies the 2.43% inter-censal annual growth rate to Nasirabad’s census base population of 563,315, yielding an estimated 2025 population of 591,025. Registration rates are calculated by dividing the number of registered voters by this estimated population.

Voter registration in Nasirabad

The district has 254,567 registered voters — 135,438 males (53.2%) and 119,129 females (46.8%). Among males, 45% of the estimated population is registered; among females, 41%. Nasirabad ranks 99th out of 136 districts nationally by population size and is covered by a shared National Assembly constituency, constituting the larger portion of the seat.

By voter registration rate, Nasirabad ranks 107th nationally and 12th of 34 within Balochistan.

Why registration trails the national ratio

Nasirabad’s below-average registration rate reflects conditions common across Balochistan. Geographic distances between settlements and registration facilities, and low population density, make sustained ECP outreach logistically demanding.

Nomadic and semi-nomadic communities enumerated at a temporary location may hold permanent CNIC registration elsewhere — or may not be registered. Both factors reduce the voter-to-population ratio.

Female voters constitute 46.8% of the registered electorate, reflecting a moderate gender gap of 6.4%. Targeted registration outreach for women in Nasirabad should remain a priority before the next general elections.
