A piece of big news has come from Jammu and Kashmir. In fact, assembly elections are likely to be held here this year, although, before this, the Election Commission has made a big announcement. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Electoral Officer Hridesh Kumar said, "Non-Kashmiri people who are living in the state can vote by including their names in the voter list. At the same time, they do not need a residence certificate for this. Not only this, but he also said that the security forces deployed for security in Jammu and Kashmir can also include their names in the voter list.'' At the same time, Hridesh Kumar also said on Wednesday that the names of about 25 lakh new voters are expected to be included in the voter list this time in Jammu and Kashmir.

Apart from this, he said that 'Employees, students, labourers and any non-local living in Kashmir can include their name in the voter list. A local residence certificate is not required for inclusion on the voter list.' Apart from this, the jawans of the security forces deployed in Jammu and Kashmir can also vote by including their names in the voter list.' Apart from this, Hridesh Kumar said 'After the abrogation of Article 370, which gave special state status to Jammu and Kashmir, a special amendment is being made in the voter list for the first time. In this case, it is expected that this time there will be a large-scale change. Not only that, a large number of young people have become 18 years or older in three years.'

Apart from this, he also said that the process of including names in the voter list will start from September 15. It will run till October 25. However, claims and objections will be disposed of by November 10. Apart from this, Hridesh Kumar says, 'There are about 98 lakh people above 18 years of age in Jammu and Kashmir, while the total number of registered voters according to the final voter list is 76 lakh.'
