The Jammu and Kashmir Lok Sabha elections scheduled for 2024 promise to be quite different from the earlier ones.

The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir is going to witness the Lok Sabha elections in five rounds, corresponding to its five constituencies. For the unversed, the national Lok Sabha election, spreading across seven phases, is slated to kick off on April 19, with the finale vote count scheduled on June 4.
