What Happened
Voting for the third phase of the assembly elections in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir was held on Monday across four constituencies. The regional election commission had designated 803 polling stations in these areas as highly sensitive. Despite these security measures, reports emerged of physical altercations between workers of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and the Pakistan Peoples Party during the polling process.
This phase follows earlier rounds of voting held on July 27 and August 2, which were also marked by allegations of violent conflict. Due to ongoing concerns regarding law and order and the stability of the electoral process, authorities have postponed voting in seven additional constituencies for an indefinite period.
