Following the verification of accusations about snatching and destroying voting materials, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) issued directions to re-poll at different polling stations around the country.
On February 8, the poll organizing body completed nearly all of the difficult aspects of conducting countrywide elections and is now prepared to release final vote results after a compilation process that has lasted more than 48 hours.
The commission received complaints from parts of the country regarding snatching and destroying voting materials at polling places where local election authorities had postponed the voting process.
The ECP issued a new order announcing re-voting at several polling stations on February 15. The vote results from the aforementioned polling stations will be released following the re-polling event.
The following is a list of the seats and polling places where re-polling was ordered:
PS-18 Ghotki-I
Re-voting will take place in the constituency's two polling locations after unidentified individuals snatched voting materials on election day, February 8.
NA-88 Khushab-II
Re-voting will take place at 26 polling stations after a swarm of outraged individuals set fire to voting materials.
PK-90 Kohat-I
The ECP ordered re-polling at 25 polling stations in the aforementioned seat after terrorists destroyed voting materials on election day.
Meanwhile, the nation's top electoral authority instructed the regional election commissioner to submit an investigative report within three days of receiving accusations about vandalism at a polling station in NA-242 Karachi Keamari-I, Sindh.
Previously, numerous parties that shared parliamentary positions in past governments questioned the authenticity of the results when they were delayed, despite the election commission's assurances that the official results would be released on time.
The caretaker government and the top electoral authority denied any purposeful delay in compiling and announcing the final results, citing complicated processes to preserve transparency.
