LAHORE - Following the Supreme Court’s decision granting right to vote
to the eunuchs, the process for their registration has started in
Punjab with the establishment of special counters at the offices of
the provincial Election Commission.
The counters have been set up by the Department of Social Welfare.
They have been provided registration forms to collect data about their
name, parentage, CNIC number and address.
It may be recalled that Supreme Court had directed the authorities
concerned in its landmark decision to ensure that all eunuchs get
their National Identity Card and are registered as voters with the
Election Commission.
