Schedule for 3rd phase of AJK polls revised over law and order concerns

The Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Election Commission has revised the schedule for the third phase of elections in response to concerns over law and order in the region. The commission announced that polling will only be held in Poonch Division’s Bagh and Haveli districts on August 10, while the electoral process in the constituencies of Poonch district and Pallandri district will not take place on that date.

The decision was made after the commission received reports of law and order concerns and received requests from political personalities and candidates to postpone the elections in certain areas. The commission emphasized that the decision was taken to ensure a free, fair, transparent, and peaceful electoral environment.
