The polls for the constituency went on Sunday 17th September 2017, material was transferred to the polling stations of the constituency on Saturday and ballot papers were sent to polling stations under the supervision of the Army. In addition, ECP also brought out 100 biometric and 150 electronic voting machines to ensure that the elections went about in a transparent.

Regarding the success of the biometric devices, according to a local newspaper, ECP has hailed the pilot project of biometric machines in NA-120 by-polls on Sunday as a success. It has been reported that about 88 percent votes cast using the machines were successfully verified however, 12 percent of those did not match the data provided by National Databse and Registration Authority.

However the official results for the elections are yet to come in, but according to unofficial results the candidate for PML-N seemed to be in the lead.
