Srinagar Vote

For the past five years, the BJP has been mobilising its workers in Kashmir valley and pushing for a "Naya Kashmir" narrative.

The people of Jammu and Kashmir face a "threat to our very existence because of the removal of Article 370", National Conference leader Omar Abdullah told NDTV Tuesday, a day after voting in Srinagar in the 2024 Lok Sabha election.

Once seen as a hub of separatists, Srinagar has demonstrated faith in democracy. The Valley saw over 38% voter turnout on Monday, the highest it recorded in the last six Lok Sabha elections.

The Srinagar constituency of Jammu and Kashmir voted on Monday to choose its next representative to the Lok Sabha -- the first election there since the general election of 2019.

Three generations of the Abdullah family on Monday cast their vote in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency, with National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah appealing to people to turn out in large numbers.

The Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency is voting today in the first elections since Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, was abrogated in 2019 and the state was bifurcated into two Union Territories.

As many as 90 polling booths, mostly in downtown Srinagar city, saw no voting in Thursday's elections to the Srinagar Parliamentary seat, sources said.

With election fever gripping Kashmir, women were seen singing and dancing as National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah reached Nagam village as part of his poll campaign. This was in complete contrast to the 2017 bypolls, when Farooq Abdullah contested from here and nobody would come out to root for him. The bypolls had recorded a dismal 7% voting,...

Mr Mattu secured 40 votes while Congress candidate for the mayoral post Ghulam Rasool H...

Continuing the trend of low voter turnout, only 1.8 per cent of electorate cast their votes in the first four hours of polling in Kashmir during the fourth and final phase of urban bodies elections in the state on Tuesday, officials said.

Srinagar city on Wednesday recorded the lowest ever voter turnout in any election with less than 100 people casting their votes in nine out of the 19 wards of the Srinagar Municipal Corporation or SMC in the second phase of the ongoing urban local bodies polls in Jammu and Kashmir.

About two per cent of the electorate voted in the first five hours of polling in 49 wards of urban local bodies in Kashmir Valley, officials said Wednesday. Voting for the second of the four-phased elections in the Valley began at 6 am and will end at 4 pm. Of the 1.78 lakh voters in 19 wards of Srinagar Municipal Corporation, only 1.3 per cent tur...

Jammu and Kashmir witnessed 56.7 per cent polling in the first phase of Urban Local Bodies elections, which has mainly been a contest between the BJP and the Congress after the two key local parties - the National Conference and Mehbooba Mufti's PDP - pulled out. In six districts of the Kashmir valley where polling was held, the voter turnout was j...

As Jammu and Kashmir is voting in the first of the four-phased municipal elections after a hiatus of 13 years, voters in Jammu are queuing up at polling stations, but staying away in Kashmir. Brisk voting was observed in almost all the wards in Jammu region with Rajouri registering the highest votes, but only seven per cent voters turned up in Kash...

Under a heavy security blanket, Jammu and Kashmir witnesses the first phase of civic polls today - an election made controversial after the two key parties in the Valley, National Conference and Mehbooba Mufti's People's Democratic Party, pulled out. With the central government insistent on the election, voting is taking place in 422 of the state's...
