PoK Postpones Voting in Seven Constituencies Amid Security Concerns and Protests
Voting for seven of the 11 seats in the third phase of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir's legislative assembly elections, scheduled for August 10, has been postponed indefinitely due to law-and-order concerns amid ongoing protests. Polling will proceed in four other constituencies as planned. The Election Commission cited security reports and requests from local leaders for the delay. The elections have faced violent protests and boycott calls, with Pakistan's ruling party leading in earlier phases. India rejects the polls, calling them an attempt to legitimize Pakistan's occupation.
