From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Following is the list of the constituencies in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly.

Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act was passed to reconstitute the state of Jammu and Kashmir into union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh in 2019.[1] In March 2020, a three-member Delimitation Commission was formed, chaired by retired Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, for the delimitation of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.[2] The final delimitation report was released on 5 May 2022 under which additional 6 seats were added to Jammu division and 1 seat to Kashmir division, taking the total tally to 90 seats.[3] The final delimitation report came into force from 20 May 2022.[4]
