Toba Tek Singh: Toba Tek Singh has achieved a voter registration rate of 63% of its estimated 2025 population, surpassing the national average by nine percentage points. This notable statistic highlights the district's engagement in the electoral process, with over 1.7 million individuals registered to vote.
According to Free and Fair Election Network, the data is derived from district-wise electoral roll statistics released by the Election Commission of Pakistan and is based on population estimates from the 2023 Digital Census. The figures account for a 2.31% annual growth rate applied to the census base population of 2,524,044, resulting in an estimated 2025 population of 2,642,001. The voter registration rate is calculated by dividing the number of registered voters by this estimated population.
In Toba Tek Singh, 53% of registered voters are male, while females constitute 47%. The district ranks 30th out of 136 districts nationally by population size and is represented by three Members of the National Assembly. It holds the 11th position nationally and 7th within Punjab for voter registration rates.
The above-average registration rate can be attributed to the methodology employed in Pakistan's 2023 Digital Census. The census rules specified that household members absent for more than six months were not counted at their home address, and those living elsewhere were recorded at their current location. As a result, many permanent residents who migrated for work were enumerated in urban centers like Lahore and Faisalabad but remained registered to vote in Toba Tek Singh, based on their permanent CNIC address.
The gender gap in voter registration is moderate, with female voters making up 47% of the electorate, reflecting a 6% difference. Despite the strong overall registration rate, efforts to ensure equitable female voter registration remain important.
