According to the ECP, over 128 million registered voters were scheduled to exercise their democratic right by casting votes for candidates participating in elections for the national and provincial legislatures.
The polling was held for 265 seats of the National Assembly and 590 seats of provincial assemblies.
The voting took place on 51 seats of the Balochistan Assembly, 128 out of 130 seats of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Assembly, 296 out of 297 seats of the Punjab Assembly and 130 seats of the Sindh Assembly.
Out of 648,000 security personnel deployed, 137,000 were from army and paramilitary force, while 511,000 policemen performed duties during the election.
An average of seven to eight security personnel manned each of the 90,777 polling stations across the country.
In the first tier, the police performed the duty, along with the civil armed forces in the second tier and the armed forces in the third tier.
A special aerial Quick Reaction Force (QRF) had also been established to promptly deal with any untoward incident, especially in the Balochistan province.
Meanwhile, the government suspended cellular services across Pakistan citing the security reasons.
Countrywide disruption of cellular and internet services during polls irked the political parties and cast doubts on the transparency of the voting process.
Moreover, a total of 349 foreign journalists and 103 observers from abroad have been covering and closely inspecting the conduct of the general election across the Pakistan.
The journalists associated with foreign media outlets were primarily performing election coverage in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi.
