At least 20 people have been killed in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, after security forces fired guns and tear gas at protesters.
The violence in the city of Rawalakot follows accusations of vote rigging during the first phase of regional elections.
Voting has now ended across 13 constituencies.
Turnout is reported to be low after calls for a boycott.
Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder reports from Islamabad, Pakistan.
