Pakistan Administered Kashmir Votes in Reduced Third Phase Amid Unrest A third phase of legislative elections in Pakistan administered Kashmir got underway this week, but the region's troubled history and ongoing unrest have taken their toll on what was supposed to be a democratic process.
The reduced voting schedule is a telling sign of the region's deep seated issues.
Four of the 11 constituencies originally scheduled to vote are proceeding as planned, while seven others in Poonch division have seen their elections postponed due to security concerns.
