Practical exercise
Verify your voter registration and find your polling station
On election morning the queue is too long for surprises. Today, in 30 minutes, you confirm three things: that you are registered to vote, where exactly your polling station is, and what your serial number on the voter list is. You also do this for two adults in your family who probably have not bothered. By the end, three Pakistanis are election ready instead of one.

Now try it
Verify your voter registration and find your polling station
Stretch
On election day itself, become a polling agent for the candidate of your choice (any candidate, including independents, can appoint you). The candidate's office issues you a polling agent card; you sit inside the polling station, watch every vote get cast, and observe the count. It is the single most educational day of civic life available to a Pakistani citizen. Free, legal, transformative.
Goes into your portfolio
Your Polling Day Card (one page), screenshots of three SMS verifications (yourself plus two family members), and a 200 word note naming any registration gaps you found and how you fixed them.
