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]].

=== Delimitation ===
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 having only 43% of the population, had 37 seats. After the delimitation process, the Jammu division may get 44 seats which is around 50% of the total seats, with 43% of the population, which is considered unfair by many Kashmir based political parties.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thepublish.in/assembly-elections-unlikely-in-jk-till-2021-delimitation-to-begin-by-november-end-reports|title= Assembly Elections unlikely in J&K till 2021, Delimitation to begin by November: Reports|website=www.thepublish.in|date=2019-08-24 |access-date=2021-01-01}}</ref> The elections will be held in all of the 90 seats of the [[Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly|Legislative Assembly]].


Many [[Kashmiri Hindu]] leaders, groups and organisations have advocated reservation or nomination of seats in the assembly for Kashmiri Hindus, Kashmiri Sikhs and Non Kashmiri speaking Hindus in Kashmir.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.risingkashmir.com/-Delimitation--An-open-letter-to-the-Prime-Minister-70000|title=Delimitation: An open letter to the Prime Minister|date=14 July 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.risingkashmir.com/-Pandit-leaders-will-write-to-PM-for-reservation--nomination-for-community-seats-in-Assembly--Parliament-70004|title = Pandit leaders will write to PM for reservation, nomination for community seats in Assembly, Parliament|date = 14 July 2021}}</ref> There are also demands for partially unfreezing 8 of the 24 seats reserved for Pakistani-Administered Kashmir and reserving them for refugees from Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/delimitation-commission-j-k-complete-exercise-march-2021-1826257-2021-07-10|title = Delimitation Commission ends J&K visit, likely to complete exercise by March 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.news18.com/news/politics/use-jk-assembly-seats-in-pok-to-grant-reservation-bjp-to-delimitation-commission-3941996.html|title = Use JK Assembly Seats in PoK to Grant Reservation: BJP to Delimitation Commission|date = 8 July 2021}}</ref>

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>
