These 12 restaurants are giving away free stuff and discounts only if you cast your vote on 25th July

Karachi: Nothing unites Pakistanis better than food, even on July 25th when they are divided over their choice of the next government.

The General Elections 2018 are so close to being over, we can almost taste it ― or maybe it’s just all the free treats that will be offered on Election Day. A number of restaurants around Karachi are doling out free food, drinks, discounts and services in celebration of Election Day.

Voter turnout in Pakistan is typically low — 40% to 50% of the electorate generally doesn’t cast a ballot at all. The simplest way the country could boost turnout would be to pass a law that would require all to vote. At least 26 other democracies around the world — including Belgium, Turkey, and Australia — already have mandatory voting.

Another way is to simply provide small incentives that encourage citizens to go to the polls. And a lot of restaurants, stores, and businesses around the country are doing their part to encourage Pakistanis to vote by giving stuff away.
