Abstract

Legislative institutions serve to develop awareness about politics among citizens in Pakistan. While such legislative functions can enhance the participation and awareness of citizens towards the political process in Pakistan, the study highlights legislative activities with media coverage and public knowledge regarding political processes to indicate how debates, laws and policy decisions get communicated to the public. It highlights the relationship that exists between legislative function and an informed electorate which is vital to a properly functioning democracy in Pakistan. This study also identifies barriers to political awareness, such as political illiteracy, media bias and inefficiency of legislative institutions. It offers recommendations to improve transparency in legislative processes, make political information more accessible to the public, and strengthen educational institutions in promoting political literacy to create a more informed electorate in Pakistan.
