"We hope that the Election Commission will soon decide on holding the Assembly elections here," Raina said.

The BJP has appointed Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy as the election in-charge for J&K.

It must be recalled that the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), Rajiv Kumar, said earlier that the J&K Assembly polls will be held after the Lok Sabha elections.

J&K Chief Electoral Office, P.K. Pole, recently advised all the 20 District Electoral Officers in the union territory to start following the election diary issued by the Election Commission during preparations for the forthcoming Assembly polls.

The final electoral rolls after revision are scheduled to be published by August 20, after which the actual poll process is expected to start in Jammu and Kashmir.

The union territory has been without an elected government since 2018 when the PDP-BJP coalition government headed by Mehbooba Mufti fell after the BJP decided to pull out of the coalition on June 19, 2018.
