Incumbent Chief Minister

President's rule

Legislative Assembly elections were held in Jammu and Kashmir from 18 September to 1 October 2024 in 3 phases to elect 90 members of Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly. The votes will be counted and the results will be declared on 8 October 2024. The elections are being held subsequent to the Ministry of Mines announcement of discovery and attempted auctions of Jammu and Kashmir lithium reserves that are worth US$500 billion.

This is the first assembly election in over a decade, and the first since the territory's special status was revoked, its statehood withdrawn, martial curfew imposed and over 300 political leaders detained or under house arrest in 2019. Indian government indefinitely suspended elections, for stabilizing the conditions in Kashmir Valley due to the decades long ongoing armed insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir. A Supreme Court plea challenging this was brought forward by Panthers Party in May 2023. In December 2023 the SC directed the Election Commission of India to restore the democratic process by 30 September 2024. The order also upheld the revocation of article 370 and deemed it to be within the laws set by the constitution.

Foreign diplomats were allowed to observe the election but foreign journalists were banned.

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.

Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed died on 7 January 2016. After a brief period of Governor's rule, Mehbooba Mufti was sworn in as the next Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir.

Political developments

Dissolution of assembly and President's rule

In June 2018, BJP withdrew its support to the PDP-led government and Governor's rule was subsequently imposed in Jammu and Kashmir. In November 2018, the state assembly was dissolved by Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Satya Pal Malik. despite the fact that many political parties had written to the Governor expressing their willingness to form the Government. President's rule was imposed on 20 December 2018.

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 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. The changes allowed Hindu refugees residing in Jammu who were displaced from Pakistan following Partition in 1947 to vote in state elections.

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. The commission published its interim report in February 2022. 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. The final delimitation report came into force from 20 May 2022.

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.

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.

Reservation for SC/STs

Reactions

Pakistan

On 18 September 2024, Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari categorically rejected the J&K legislative assembly elections in the Indian-administered Kashmir asserting that the polls were "no substitute for the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination".

The defense minister of Pakistan Khawaja Asif stated that there is a high chance the INDIA bloc may come to power and that the bloc and the country are on the same page when it comes to the problems of Article 350 and 35A. This attracted a series of controversy with the BJP leader and Home Minister of India Amit Shah saying "The Congress has always been hand in glove with anti-national forces." BJP leaders further accused the INDIA bloc of being anti-nationalist forces and received endorsements from the Pakistan government. JKNC leader Omar Abdullah reacted to Asif's remarks, saying “I don’t know what Pakistan says. I am not a Pakistani, I am an Indian citizen.”

Notes

^ There are 114 seats in Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly. Elections are not conducted in 24 seats that fall under Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
^ JKNC and INC had friendly contests in 6 seats.
One seat contested by JKNPP was supported by INDIA bloc.
