In Prithvi Narayan of Pokhara, voting could not take place due to missing names of candidates on the ballot paper. The campus said that voting will be held on Wednesday. There are 9,200 voters in Prithvi Narayan campus. Polling in Ratnarajya Lakshmi (RR), Trichandra and Amrit Science College (ASKAL) in Kathmandu was also blocked at the last minute.

Elections could not be held in Trichandra and RR even in 2079.
