While voters lined up at polling stations across the country to cast their votes, around 370,000 Pakistan Army personnel were deployed to provide security.
As voting comes to an end, we compiled the most memorable reactions to capture the spirit on this historic day for Pakistan.
Pakistan is voting for change!
Just came back home after casting my vote. What a moment it was! Had goosebumps and was getting super emo while casting my vote. Go out. Vote. Pakistan Zindabad!💪🇵🇰#ElectionPakistan2018

If we know anything, we know you cannot shake Pakistan. Even after the devastating bomb blast which rocked Quetta earlier today, a massive turnout at the polling stations strengthen the spirit of the nation.

Devastated about the news that nearly 40 persons were killed in #Quetta #quettablast terror attack. What a tragedy. My sympathy is with the families of the victims. Terror cannot break the resolve of the pakistani people fr democracy #ElectionPakistan2018 #PakistanElections2018. pic.twitter.com/u3aXcC2yE6

Apart from the obvious patriotic spirit to vote for change, some restaurants were offering yummy treats if you show your inked thumb! And boy, the turn out was phenomenal!
We also found some rib-tickling tweets!
