Afghan Parliamentary Election 2018

Home > Elections > Afghan Election 2018

The Afghan parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in the summer of 2018; however, there have been some problems with the voter registration process.

National ID Card Controversy. In an attempt to diminish corruption within the Afghan electoral process the government (over the past several years) has attempted to issue an electronic national ID card known as the e-Tazkira. However there is a controversy over one word that will be on the card - "Afghan". "Afghan" is usually associated with "Pashtun" and other ethnic groups (Tajiks, Hazara, Uzbek, and others) are taking exception to the word. Unfortunately the dispute will be disruptive to the 2018 parliamentary and 2019 presidential elections. [1]
