A total of 107199 voters will exercise their franchise on September 25, which include 53425 male, 53773 female and one transgender.

According to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the poll body has finalized polling stations including 115 in urban and 22 in rural parts across the constituency.

As the constituency is set to go to polls on September 25, the main contest is expected between National Conference (NC) candidate and a first-time contender, Ahsan Pardesi and Apni Party’s Muhammad Ashraf Mir.

Mir was earlier MLA Sonwar as he defeated the former chief minister Omar Abdullah with a margin of 4,783 votes.

However, in the recent Lok Sabha Apni Party witnessed a setback as the majority of voters from Lal Chowk constituency had voted in favour of NC candidate, Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi. From the Srinagar Parliamentary seat, NC had taken a lead in 16 assembly constituencies, followed by PDP with leads in two assembly segments.
