Tehreek-i-Labaik Islam has raised questions over the transparency of July 25 general elections, claiming that it had received complaints that voters were not allowed to cast their votes in NA-128 Lahore and NA-82 Gujranwala.

"Female voters were told to go away after [the polling staff] took their thumb impressions," a press statement reads. "They (voters) complained to our polling agents. The staff admitted its mistake after our polling agents asked them about this and the voters were then given ballot papers."

The party alleged that its polling agents were chased away from polling stations. The press release further claims that the parties had not received Form 45.
