Non-resident American citizens can vote – yes. I do not believe American citizens living overseas who have also accepted some other nationality are allowed to vote.

Mr. Agha. what do you mean by "International Media"? Please provide the source of this completely ridiculous post. Unless you can provide a link to a reliable historically unbiased source you owe an apology to about 5 Million people.

You are forgetting that Moeen Qureshi and Shukat Aziz were brought in by your beloved presidents to run the country and were not sent back to Pakistan by the expats. We dont need a loyalty certificate from people who will jump the ship for a few thousand dollars, we are as Pakistani as you are. You should be more concerned about the real issues poverty, education and economic situation of Pakistan. You should ask Mian Nawaz Sharif, Zardari and IK to bring their families back as well because if your kids are dual nationals or live in a forigen country then using your logic means that they are also not loyal.

Expat Pakistanis are backward?? Are you having a laugh mate. Expat Paksitanis dont chop girls noses off, or parade them naked (multan) or scald them with boiling water (kohistan). Please either learn more Pakistan or stop inserting your foot in your mouth.

Kamran. Us Pakistanis working overseas support ourselve here and also send money back to Pakistan. Leeches like you living in Pakistan should be banned form voting because incompetence runs through your veins and it is the very myopic nature of your vision that has led to Pakistan being what it is. So please take your flag and run up and down mall road and watch the country go to the dogs that we overseas Pakistanis are trying extermely hard to keep buyoant.

Dear Kamran, Americans living in Pakistan and else where do vote in their presidential elections through their embassies. There are more than 5 million Pakistanis living abroad and they have every right to vote in Pakistani elections. These 5 million people are as Pakistani as you are or any one else in Pakistan is, and you dont have to keep a close eye on where we donate as this is our personal choice, for remittences sent to Pakistan in previous years just get the figures from state bank of Pakistan to see what we send home and how Pakistani economy is dependent upon our hard earned Dirham, Pounds and Dollars

Well its very odd to do that. I have never seen americans living in Pakistan, hoisting the flags of their respective parties on mall road or shahrah-e-dastoor at the time of US Elections. Its ridiculous to do that. We should just let expat pakistanis earn money and we should keep a close eye on where they donate.

Overseas Pakistanis are far more tolerant who have learned to live side by side other nationalities unlike people in Pakistan who do not get to meet foreign tourists because, well, there are none. Overseas Pakistanis are also involved in the electoral process of their adopted countries giving them experience in the democratic process. And ofcourse they are sending all those remittances that is helping keep Pakistan afloat. Let’s face it. Pakistanis in Pakistan haven’t exactly done wonders for the country themselves to demand that overseas Pakistanis keep out.
