Multiple credible sources confirm that Jammu and Kashmir held its first assembly election since 2014 in September and October 2024. The East Asia Forum analysis explicitly states the 2024 elections were the first since India's 2019 alteration of the region's legal status, and candidate pages from Oneindia and The Hindu document the 2024 assembly election results. No credible source contradicts this claim.
In September and October 2024, Jammu and Kashmir held its first assembly election since 2014, following India's revocation of the region's special status in 2019. The election was conducted in multiple phases, with results announced in October. The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) emerged as the leading party, winning several constituencies, including Chrar-i-sharief and Bijbehara. The election was seen as a significant political event, revealing enduring political fault lines in the region.
