Srinagar: A team of Election Commission of India, led by Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar, will be visiting Jammu and Kashmir from August 8-10 to review assembly poll preparedness.
The development is coming at a time when the final electoral rolls of Jammu and Kashmir are scheduled to be published on August 20 even as delay of few days in the publication can’t be ruled out.
The Election Commission is expected to visit both Jammu and Kashmir divisions, interact with top officials of the administration, the District Election Officers (DEOs), representatives of political parties and all other stakeholders for the elections.
Notably, the Supreme Court while upholding abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir in its judgment dated December 11, 2023, asked the Election Commission to conduct Assembly elections in the Union Territory before September 30, 2024.
