Abdullah did not name his rival Ashraf Ghani in his accusation, but his camp suggested Ghani's supporters were involved, as well as individuals connected to current President Hamid Karzai.
Abdullah is of mixed Pashtun and Tajik descent but his base of support is with ethnic Tajiks, while Ghani, a former World Bank economist, is a Pashtun, as is Karzai.
Abdullah led first-round results in April with 45 percent of the vote, while Ghani lagged behind by more than 13 points.
Based on initial reports received by Abdullah's staff, results from Saturday's vote put Ghani in the lead by close to a million votes.
