==Background==
==Background==
Following the [[2014 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly election|2014 elections]], the [[Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party]] (PDP) and [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) formed a coalition government. In 2018 the BJP pulled out and withdrew its support from the government. Governor's rule was subsequently applied. In 2019 [[Article 370 of the Constitution of India]], which gave temporary special status to Jammu and Kashmir, was abrogated. The state was split into two union territories, [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu & Kashmir]] and [[Ladakh]].

The delimitation process for the elections started in March 2020, and was expected to be completed in 1 year.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://eci.gov.in/files/file/12211-delimitation-of-constituencies-in-jammu-kashmir-assamarunachal-pradesh-manipur-and-nagaland-notification-dated-06032020|title=Delimitation of Constituencies in Jammu-Kashmir, Assam,Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Nagaland - Notification dated 06.03.2020|website=eci.gov.in|date=2020-03-06|access-date=2021-01-05}}</ref> However, the delimitation commission got an extension of one year again.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/jk-delimitation-commission-gets-one-year-extension/articleshow/81326315.cms|title=J&K: Delimitation Commission gets one-year extension|website=timesofindia.indiatimes.com|date=2021-03-04|access-date=2021-03-07}}</ref> Excluding the four seats which fell in the UT of [[Ladakh]], Kashmir Valley had 46 seats being home to more than 55% of the population and the Jammu division, while being 60% bigger in geographical area but having only 43% of the population, had 37 seats.

On 5 May 2022, the [[Foreign Office of Pakistan]] handed over a [[demarche]] to the Indian Charge d’Affaires. It conveyed the [[Government of Pakistan]]’s categorical rejection of the ‘Delimitation Commission’ report, which it said "was aimed at disenfranchising and disempowering the Muslim majority population" of Jammu and Kashmir.<ref>{{cite news |title=Hindu majority areas get more seats in held Kashmir |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1688232/hindu-majority-areas-get-more-seats-in-held-kashmir |work=Dawn |date=6 May 2022}}</ref>

President's rule


The next elections would be the first since 2014 and the first since the territory's temporary special status was revoked and its statehood withdrawn in 2019.[3]

BackgroundEdit

Following the 2014 elections, the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) formed a coalition government. In 2018 the BJP pulled out and withdrew its support from the government. Governor's rule was subsequently applied. In 2019 Article 370 of the Constitution of India, which gave temporary special status to Jammu and Kashmir, was abrogated. The state was split into two union territories, Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.

DelimitationEdit

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.[4] The commission published its interim report in February 2022.[5]

On 5 May 2022, the Foreign Office of Pakistan handed over a demarche to the Indian Charge d’Affaires. It conveyed the Government of Pakistan’s categorical rejection of the ‘Delimitation Commission’ report, which it said "was aimed at disenfranchising and disempowering the Muslim majority population" of Jammu and Kashmir.[6]
