Over 3,70,000 troops have been deployed across Pakistan for today's general election, the largest military deployment on a polling day in the nation's history, at the end of a campaign marred by a string of terror attacks.

The countrywide election campaign came to an end on Monday night, as political parties culminated their poll campaigns. The Pakistan Army has said it would deploy 3,71,388 troops at 85,000 polling stations for the July 25 election. This would be the largest deployment for any election in the country's history. Armed soldiers stood guard as election officials in the capital distributed ballot boxes and voting material at polling stations across the city.
