Counting of votes is underway after the expiry of polling time at five in the evening.
However, voters present inside the premises of polling stations would be allowed to cast their votes even after expiry of the polling time at five-o-clock.
Polling for the General Election of National Assembly and four Provincial Assemblies was held across the country today.
Earlier, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Thursday asked the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to extend the polling time.
According to the details, the PTI had decided to officially submit the application to the ECP.
PTI Chief Organiser Omar Ayub said: “We have received many complaints about the slow polling process.”
“I would like to express my gratitude to the masses for casting votes in large numbers despite the internet outage,” Ayub said.
“The electoral watchdog should extend the polling time until 6:00 pm.,” he said.
