In the first phase of the assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, voter turnout reached approximately 61 percent by 11:30 p.m. on September 18, as reported by the Election Commission of India. This figure is expected to increase slightly.
The highest turnout was recorded in the Inderwal constituency, with around 82 percent, followed by Kishtwar with 78 percent, according to the poll panel.
The provisional voter turnout for the 24 assembly seats, which are spread across seven districts, was just over 61 percent at 11:30 p.m. This percentage might rise as some polling stations are in remote areas of the Pir Panjal Mountain range.
This assembly election marks the first in Jammu and Kashmir in ten years, with the first phase held peacefully on September 18. The last assembly election in the region, which was then a state, took place in 2014. During the 2014 assembly elections, the Mehbooba Mufti-led PDP secured 11 out of the 24 seats voting today. The BJP and Congress each won four seats, while the National Conference led by Farooq Abdullah and the CPI(M) won one seat each.
The constituencies involved in the second phase phase include Kangan (ST), Ganderbal, Hazratbal, Khanyar, Habbakadal, Lal Chowk, Channapora, Zadibal, Eidgah, Central Shalteng, Budgam, Beerwah, Khansahib, Chrar-i-Sharief, Chadoora, and Gulabgarh (ST). Additionally, voting will occur in Reasi, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi, Kalakote-Sunderbani, Nowshera, Rajouri (ST), Budhal (ST), Thannamandi (ST), Surankote (ST), Poonch Haveli, and Mendhar (ST).
In the second phase of the 2024 Jammu and Kashmir elections, over 2.5 million voters will determine the outcome for 239 candidates competing for 26 assembly seats. Polling started at 7 a.m. and will continue until 6 p.m. today. Key contenders in this phase include former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, JKPCC President Tariq Hamid Karra, and BJP J&K Chief Ravinder Raina. Abdullah is running from Ganderbal and Budgam, while Karra is contesting in Central Shalteng. Other prominent candidates include Apni Party President Altaf Bukhari, former ministers Ali Mohammad Sagar and Abdul Rahim Rather, as well as BJP candidates Choudhary Zulfikar Ali and Syed Mushtaq Bukhari. This phase spans six districts: 93 candidates in Srinagar, 46 in Budgam, 34 in Rajouri, 25 in Poonch, 21 in Ganderbal, and 20 in Reasi.
The second and third phases of voting are scheduled for September 25 and October 1, respectively, with the election results to be announced on October 8.

In Jammu, Congress MP & Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi says, “In the history of India, after 1947 several UTs were turned into states. States were divided – Telangana was formed out of Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand was formed out of Bihar, Chhattisgarh was carved out of Madhya Pradesh. But for the first time after independence, a state was turned into a UT. This was done to Jammu & Kashmir. This is an injustice to you. Your democratic rights have been snatched away from you. Today J&K, is not run by the people of J&K, it is run by the people of other states. We had thought that you would get back the statehood before elections. That would have been the correct way…But it is fine that they are conducting elections first. But we want your democratic rights, the statehood of J&K is given back to you.”
