Talking to news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), PDP chief spokesman Suhail Bukhari said that he raised the issue of delay in holding assembly elections in Jammu & Kashmir during the meeting.

“I told them that it is ironic that the poll-body has called a meeting to discuss ways to increase that the poll-body has called a meeting to discuss ways for increasing voter participation in polls, but people in Jammu & Kashmir are eagerly waiting for the past five years to exercise their voting rights,” he said.

He said the Chief Election Commissioner told the meeting that all technical processes have been completed in Jammu & Kashmir.

“The CEC told us that exercises of delimitation and revision of voters have been completed,” he said, adding that CEC further said they are also concerned over the matter.

In a statement, the National Conference said that its treasurer Shammi Oberoi while speaking on the issue that when the government is concerned about facilitating domestic migrants to exercise their voting rights, the 1.4 crore people of Jammu and Kashmir continue to remain deprived from exercising their democratic rights.

Oberoi further added that J&K which hasn’t seen elections for the last so many years is suffering on many fronts. He raised the concern that people of J&K are being kept away from exercising their democratic rights and choosing their own government which would have effectively addressed their day to day issues.

In its response, the Chief Election Commissioner acknowledged the points raised by Oberoi and said that the ECI is also concerned about the Assembly elections in J&K.

The CEC said that preparations for the polls are underway and that much groundwork has been covered in terms of delimitation of constituencies, electoral rolls revision and booth identification, the National Conference said.

J&K has been without an elected government since June 19, 2018 when the BJP withdrew support to Mehbooba Mufti-led government. The last assembly election in Jammu and Kashmir was held in 2014. The delimitation process was completed in May 2022 while summary revision exercise was completed on November 25—(KNO)
