Re-polling will be held at nine polling stations in LA-15 Bagh-II and 14 in LA-16 Bagh-III on August 15 from 8am to 5pm, according to an Election Commission spokesperson. In LA-15, results from 204 of the constituency's 213 polling stations had been received. Re-polling will be held at polling stations 114, 135, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148 and 186. However, voting in LA-27 Muzaffarabad-I and LA-28 Muzaffarabad-II was postponed after heavy rain, landslides and adverse weather prevented election staff and polling material from reaching several polling stations.
