Election 2024: The Election Commission will announce the assembly election schedule in the country on Friday, August 16. In the press conference at 3 pm, it will be told in which states the assembly elections are going to be held. It is estimated that in this conference the dates for the assembly elections in Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir will be announced. This is because the term of Haryana Assembly will end on November 3.
On the other hand, regarding Jammu and Kashmir, the Supreme Court had directed the government to conduct elections here by September 30 because elections have not been held here since the removal of Article 370. The Election Commission also wants the same, due to which it has recently visited Jammu and Kashmir to take stock of the election preparations. Let us now tell you what changes can come after the elections.
What changed in Jammu and Kashmir
