Legislative Assembly elections are scheduled to be held in Jammu and Kashmir from 18 September to 1 October 2024 in 3 phases to elect 90 members[a] of Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly. The votes will be counted and the results will be declared on 4 October 2024.
This is the first election since the territory's special status was revoked and its statehood withdrawn in 2019.[1][2]
Background
The previous assembly elections were held in November–December 2014. After the election, coalition of Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party and Bharatiya Janata Party formed the state government, with Mufti Mohammad Sayeed becoming the Chief Minister.[3][4]
Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed died on 7 January 2016.[5] After a brief period of Governor's rule, Mehbooba Mufti was sworn in as the next Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir.[6]
Political developments
Dissolution of assembly and President's rule
In June 2018, BJP withdrew its support to the PDP-led government[7] and Governor's rule was subsequently imposed in Jammu and Kashmir.[8] In November 2018, the state assembly was dissolved by Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Satya Pal Malik.[9] despite the fact that many political parties had written to the Governor expressing their willingness to form the Government.[10] President's rule was imposed on 20 December 2018.[11]
Revocation of Article 370 and reorganisation of state
In 2019, Article 370 of the Constitution of India, which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir, was abrogated[12] and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act was passed to reconstitute the state of Jammu and Kashmir into union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh with effect from 31 October 2019.[13]
Delimitation
In March 2020, a three-member Delimitation Commission was formed, chaired by retired Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, for the delimitation of the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.[14] The commission published its interim report in February 2022.[15] The final delimitation report was released on 5 May 2022 under which additional 6 seats were added to Jammu division and 1 seat to Kashmir division. After delimitation, the total seats in the assembly rose to 114 seats, out of which 24 seats are designated for areas that fall under Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Out of the remaining 90 seats, 43 seats are in Jammu division and 47 seats are in the Kashmir division.[16] The final delimitation report came into force from 20 May 2022.[17]
DDC elections
In 2020, DDC elections were held after revocation of special status. People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) secured 110 seats, while BJP was the single largest party with 75 seats.[18]
Supreme Court verdict on abrogation on Article 370
On 11 December 2023, the Supreme Court in its verdict upheld the abrogation of article 370 as constitutional and ordered the Election Commission of India to hold legislative assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir before 30 September 2024.[19][20]
Reservation for SC/STs
The parliament passed the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill 2023 which provides for reservation of 7 seats for the Scheduled Castes and 9 seats for the Scheduled Tribes.[21][22]
Schedule
The schedule of the election was announced by the Election Commission of India on 16 August 2024.[23][24]
