Islamabad: In the 1993 general elections in Pakistan, only 39.6% of registered voters participated, highlighting a low voter turnout for the National Assembly elections. The elections, held on October 6, 1993, were prompted by the dissolution of the National Assembly and the dismissal of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's government earlier that year. The Pakistan Peoples Party, under the leadership of Benazir Bhutto, emerged victorious, forming the new government.

According to Free and Fair Election Network, out of 52.33 million registered voters, 20.73 million cast their ballots. The registered electorate comprised 54.5% male and 45.5% female voters, with a gender registration gap of 4.70 million. However, gender-disaggregated data on votes polled was unavailable, as such details were not systematically collected until the 2018 elections.

During the election, 1.3% of the votes were declared invalid, reflecting issues with voter instruction and ballot design. Punjab recorded the highest number of votes, aligning with its larger share of the national registered electorate, while Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan had lower polling figures. This turnout is part of a broader trend analyzed by FAFEN, comparing participation rates across Pakistan's twelve general elections from 1970 to 2024. The highest turnout in this period was 54.9% in 2013, with the lowest at 34.8% in 1997.
