All the charts on the Google Trends page can be embedded on any website where they will be updated automatically.
With the general elections to be held on February 8, 2024, a large number of Pakistanis will look online for information about political parties, their nominees and other relevant topics to help them in the electoral process.
For the media and the public to have easy access to this data, Google has introduced a page called 'Google Trends Pakistan General Elections' which contains queries regarding the parties participating in the elections, topics and offers information.
This page includes data related to the top election topics searched for in each part of the country, such as the economy, taxes and wages.
All the charts on the Google Trends page can be embedded on any website where they will be updated automatically.
It is pertinent to note that this page introduced in Pakistan by Google Trends is not a survey of any kind regarding the general elections, nor does it show voting trends.
This page simply shows people's interest and searches for specific topics locally over time. A rise in a particular question does not reflect that a political party is in any sense 'more popular' or 'winning'.
