Overview
- Polling for the third phase is scheduled for Monday, August 10, in four constituencies across Bagh and Haveli with more than 460,000 registered voters.
- Eighty-two candidates are contesting the four seats in the Poonch division, and a tightly fought three-way race in Haveli includes AJK Prime Minister Faisal Mumtaz Rathore.
- The Election Commission ended campaigning at midnight on Saturday and ordered that all electioneering stop as officials prepared for voting.
- Officials said polling material and election and security personnel were dispatched to polling stations by Sunday evening to meet tight logistical and safety timetables.
- The commission postponed voting in the remaining Rawalakot and Sudhanoti constituencies and said it may set new dates within seven days, a move that will extend the phased schedule and affect remaining campaign windows.
