The polling started at 8am and would continue till 5pm without any interruption.

In a statement on Feb 10, the Election Commission of Pakistan said that elections would be re-conducted in 26 polling stations of NA-88 as the polling material had been burned by a crowd.

Polls would be held again in two stations of PS-18 as “unknown men had snatched polling material” there, it added.

The reason for re-election in over a dozen polling stations of PK-90 was the “polling material there being damaged by terrorists”, the ECP had said.

Moreover, re-voting in six polling stations of NA-43 in Dera Ismail Khan’s Tank district would be conducted on February 17.

Elections could not be held in the above mentioned polling stations due to poor law and order.

The general elections in Pakistan were held on February 8 amid soaring inflation and incidents of violence.
