People are reportedly continuing to cast their votes amid at least three security incidents around polling stations in Kabul.
According to AFP reports, elections in the two provinces of Kandahar and Ghazni have been postponed as well as in 11 of the country's nearly 400 districts.
Before the vote, members of the radical Taliban* movement, which does not recognize Saturday’s election, threatened civilians and announced their intention of sabotaging the electoral process.

So far, none of the terrorist groups operating in the country has claimed responsibility for the explosions.
Afghans headed to the polls to elect members of the lower house of parliament for the first time since 2010. At least nine candidates have been killed since July 1.
The election was supposed to take place in 2016; however, it had been postponed because of the unstable security situation in the country.
