Pakistan Election Update and Analysis: The Polls
By Xenia Dormandy, Former Senior Associate, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
Pakistan's election will take place on Monday, and the army has been activated to ensure security: this security, however, is lacking. Parts of the FATA are restricted, so it's not clear how - or whether - polling will take place in some towns.
