| Uncertainty looms large over holding polls in J&K | | Polls will be held at right time, says Chief Election Commissioner | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 9: Uncertainty over assembly elections in J&K because the Election Commission of Monday said that polls in the polls in UT will be held at the “appropriate time”.
Replying to a question regarding polls in J&K, the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Rajiv Kumar said that the polls in Jammu and Kashmir will be held when the commission deems it the “right time” keeping in mind the security situation and other polls being held in the Union Territory.
On the preparedness and dates for assembly election in five states, Kumar said that the security situation will be taken into account before conducting polls in Jammu and Kashmir.
“The decision to be taken at the right time as per the security situation and other simultaneous elections in Jammu and Kashmir,” the CEC said.
Pertinently, in February this year, Union Home Minister Amit Shah had stated that the call on the date and timing of polls will be taken by the Election Commission of India.
The exercise of special summary revision-2022 culminated with the publication of the final electoral rolls in the UT on November 25, 2022.
The process of continuous upgradation is going on as any eligible citizen who has been left out of the electoral roll can apply through any of the modes of registration, i.e. Online through the NVSP portal, Voter Helpline APP, Voter Portal, or Offline by making an application to the ERO concerned.
The completion of the exercise will pave the way for holding elections in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. This would be the first election in the UT after the abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of the erstwhile state of J&K into two Union Territories by the BJP-led NDA government in August 2019.
In March this year opposition parties had submitted a memorandum to the Election Commission of India, seeking early assembly polls in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. |
