The third phase of assembly elections in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir took place on Monday across four constituencies, amid reports of violence, political conflict, and electoral irregularities. While voting occurred in these areas, the election commission postponed voting in seven other constituencies indefinitely due to law and order concerns. Clashes were reported between supporters of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and the Pakistan Peoples Party at various polling stations.

What Happened

Voting for the third phase of the assembly elections in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir was held on Monday across four constituencies.
