PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz has demanded of Election Commission of Pakistan to extend the time of polling alleging that PML-N voters had been barred from voting.
In a tweet, she said since it was clear that PMLN was winning and with a huge margin, they slowed down the polling process and many N League workers left without casting the votes.
She requested the ECP to give more time to voters to cast their votes.
Since it was clear that PMLN was winning & with a huge margin, they slowed down the polling process hence long queues of N voters outside polling stations. We have requested the ECP to extend the polling time.

The police also resorted to baton charge on PML-N workers in Daska Kallan when they tried to forcefully enter the polling station for casting the votes after the time ended.
Maryam also shared a video on Twitter showing the police attacking the voters and asking whether the police were the personal servants of the rulers.

Many polling stations have a stop-start trend due to clashes between the rival parties and the PML-N had demanded extra time to be given for the polling and in Daska, two people were killed and scores got injured during a firing incident killed.
The process of polling for the by-elections in all the constituencies have ended after the stipulated time of 5:00 pm.
