At the national level, elections were held on 270 constituencies and each of the 270 constituencies elected one Member of the National Assembly (MNA) to the National Assembly of Pakistan. At the provincial level, elections were held in each of four province to elect Members of the Provincial Assemblies (MPA) in their respective provincial assemblies. As a result of the election, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) became the single largest party at the national level both in terms of popular vote and in terms of seats. At the provincial level, the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) (PML-N) remained the largest party in Punjab, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) in Sindh and the newly-formed Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) became the largest party in Balochistan. Opinion polling had consistently shown leads for the PML-N over PTI. From a 11-point lead, the PML-N's lead began to diminish in the final weeks of the campaign. In a result, the PTI made a net gain with 31.87% of the vote (its highest share of the vote since its foundation), whilst PML-N made a net loss with 24.40%. In the lead up to the elections, there had been allegations by some international journalists and scholars about pre-poll rigging being conducted by the judiciary, the military and the intelligence agencies to sway the election results in favour of the PTI and against the PML (N). Opposition parties, mainly PML-N, also alleged large-scale vote rigging and administrative malpractices. However, Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) out rightly rejected such reports and stated that elections were conducted fair and free. One of the top electoral watchdog Free and Fair Election Network (Fafen) also said that the 2018 general elections in Pakistan have been “more transparent in some aspects” than the previous polls. The European Union Election Observation Mission said, in its preliminary report, that no rigging has been found during the Election Day in general, however, "lack of equality of opportunity" in the pre-election campaign, and there were systematic attempts to undermine the ruling party PML-N. The European Union assessed the conduct of polling on Election Day as "transparent". The 342 members of the National Assembly are elected by two methods in three categories; 272 are elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting; 60 are reserved for females and 10 for ethnic and religious minority groups; both sets of reserved seats use proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold. This proportional number, however, is based on the number of seats won rather than votes cast. To win a simple majority, a party would have to take 137 seats. The 2018 General Elections were held under new delimitation of constituencies as a result of 2017 Census of Pakistan. Parliament of Pakistan amended the Constitution, allowing a one-time exemption for redrawing constituency boundaries using 2017 provisional census results. As per the notification issued on 5 March 2018, the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) now has three constituencies, Punjab 141, Sindh 61, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 39, Balochistan 16 and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) has 12 constituencies in the National Assembly. 106 million people were registered to vote for members of the National Assembly of Pakistan and four Provincial Assemblies. Likewise for elections to provincial assemblies, Punjab has 297 constituencies, Sindh 130, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 99 and Balochistan 51.
