The race battle was for some time drawn and aggressive, in a greatly enraptured political condition punctuated by a couple of significant psychological militant assaults. Decision Day was better overseen, generally quiet and free of any significant discussion until the point that late night concerns rose over the straightforwardness of the checking procedure, and the consequent moderate procedure of declaration of temporary outcomes incited some political gatherings to dismiss the race results.
In spite of issues with the Result Transmission System (RTS) set up by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to meet the necessities of the new Election Law that was instituted in October 2017, Free and Fair Election Network (FAFEN) recognizes noteworthy changes in the nature of basic appointive procedures in the race cycle that roused more prominent open certainty.

The Election Commission regulated an uncommon sending of government representatives on race obligations. Out of the blue, the Commission conveyed free Returning Officers (849) for all National and Provincial Assembly bodies electorate, which at first caused some procedural issues, for example, in the finish of surveying plans, however were opportune tended to by the ECP.
