Police fired tear gas to disperse supporters of jailed former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan on Sunday after his party urged protests outside election offices where they said rigging had taken place in last week's national vote.
Clashes were reported in Rawalpindi city, south of the capital, and Lahore, in the east, while dozens of other protests were held across the country without incident.
Police warned earlier they would come down hard on illegal gatherings. There were no immediate reports of injuries from the protests.
Independent candidates most linked to Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party took the most seats in the polls, scuppering the chances of the army-backed Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to win a ruling majority.
