Re-polling in PS-18, attributed to reported seizure of polling material by unidentified men, is also slated for February 15.
The ECP stated that likewise, re-polling will be held at 25 polling stations of PK-90 due to damage caused to polling material by terrorists.
Additionally, the ECP has also sought a report from the district regional officer within three days about alleged vandalism at one polling station of NA-242.
