Abstract

The article discusses at the restrictive regulations and institutional obstacles which are compromised the progress of a democratic atmosphere in Pakistan. While legislative promises of a democratic leadership, the political landscape of Pakistan remains frequently damaged by armed interference, ineffective democratic organizations, including governing structures that encourage financial gain on citizen involvement. This investigation approach to research that draws secondary sources such as scholarly articles, legal documents, and research on policy. According to the results, insufficient democracy performance has been fuelled from lack of systems of transparency, deeply rooted dynastic as well as aristocratic systems, ballot rigging, money laundering, along with increased military's hold in decisions about politics, regardless of legal restrictions in this type of engagement. Such features, taken together, limit fair voting privileges that erode the ideals of democracy. It suggests a path ahead focused prioritizes increasing polling honesty, maintaining civic primacy, modernizing justice systems, reducing powerful control, but fostering integration into politics. Article contends which with no sign of true policies determination as well as administrative improvements, Pakistan's tradition of democracy is going to be unstable as organizational as opposed to substantive.
