Abstract

This article analyses the female voting behaviour regarding family affiliations as voting determinants in the NA-34 in the 2018 General Elections. The study tested the theory of ethnicity and used a quantitative research method to collect data. Four hundred respondents registered as female voters in the 2018 General Elections were selected as a study population for the questionnaire. Taro Yamane's formula was used to find the sample size most appropriate for this quantitative study. Through Taro Yamane's Formula, the sample size is obtained by selecting 400 respondents out of 178504 female registered voters for the 2018 General Elections of District Karak, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. A stratified sampling technique was used for sampling the respondents. Data was analysed through SPSS software, and a T-test was applied. It had been analysed that (61.65%) of females could not cast their votes based on their family affiliations, which means the female constituency of NA-34 in Karak did not support the theory of ethnicity.
