Overseas Pakistanis can't vote from abroad tomorrow — but that doesn't mean they can't fly to Pakistan and have their say in who forms the next government.

According to a report carried by the Associated Press of Pakistan, many Pakistanis residing in the United Arab Emirates, who "are excited to vote in the upcoming elections", have travelled or are planning to travel in time to vote for the elections.

Mohammed Amin Sargana, a Dubai resident and focal person for the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) who travelled to Lahore on Monday, told Khaleej Times that his entire family would vote for different political parties.
