The concluding round of voting for Pakistan-administered Kashmir’s Legislative Assembly elections took place amid heightened security concerns across the region. The third phase proceeded despite significant challenges that restricted participation in numerous constituencies scheduled for the polling day.
Only four of the eleven constituencies that were originally planned to conduct voting during this final phase were able to participate in the electoral process. The remaining seven constituencies were unable to hold their elections due to ongoing unrest affecting the territory.
The security situation in Pakistan-administered Kashmir has remained volatile throughout the election period, preventing normal electoral operations in multiple areas. Authorities nonetheless proceeded with the voting process in areas deemed secure enough to conduct the polls safely.
