Pakistanis head back to polls
Description
Casting their ballots in Pakistan - finally.
One week after the country's general election, residents of this Karachi neighbourhood vote for a new government.
Some were prevented from voting on May 11, during what was at times a violent and chaotic ballot.
The vote comes a day after a prominent local politician, Zarah Shahid Hussain, was fatally shot outside her home.
She was a leading member of Pakistan Tehrik Insaf, a party headed by former cricket star Imran Khan.
Supporters denounced the killing and paid tribute to the voters.
