This article focuses on the gap that exists among the genders as a result of political socialization
in the Christian religious minority within Punjab, Pakistan. A study in this regard was carried out
in four major districts of Punjab namely Lahore, Faisalabad, Gujranwala and Rawalpindi. A
sample of 400 was surveyed during Dec 2017-Jan 2018. The data were collected using multi
stage sampling. The results of the study indicated that gender plays an important role in voting
behavior. There is a huge difference in political awareness of men and women. Men are more
politically aware and their level of knowledge surpasses that of women from their community.
Where men are more independent in their decision making regarding whom to vote or not to
vote, women are largely dependent on males of family in forming their political decisions
