Next Indian Elections

In Haryana, the race for control of the 90-member Assembly has been fiercely contested. The state has seen intense campaigning, with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) aiming for a third consecutive term. After coming to power in 2014 and 2019, the BJP is eyeing a "hat-trick" of victories. Chief minister Nayab Singh Saini, who replaced Manohar Lal Khattar earlier this year, has been at the forefront of the BJP’s campaign. His political fate, along with that of many other prominent leaders, will be sealed in these elections.

In Jammu and Kashmir, the assembly elections are historic for several reasons. This is the first assembly election since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, and for the first time in over seven decades, several communities—West Pakistan Refugees, Valmikis, and Gurkhas—have been granted voting rights. The elections in Jammu and Kashmir were conducted in three phases, with voter turnout registering a remarkable 69.65 per cent in the third and final phase.
