According to highly placed sources associated with the commission, conducting assembly elections is a big challenge for the government, security forces and administration due to terrorist incidents in Jammu division and Kashmir valley.
After the Lok Sabha elections were conducted peacefully and enthusiastically and record voter turnout was recorded, terrorist incidents have increased in the last one month. However, the Supreme Court has ordered to conduct elections in the state before 30 September.

The Election Commission has taken one more step forward towards holding assembly elections in four states including Jammu and Kashmir. The Commission has sent a letter to the Chief Secretary and Chief Electoral Officer of the four states and warned them about the posting and transfer of officers. Before the elections, it is a regular exercise that the transfer of officers posted for more than three years or officers posted in their home district who are directly involved in the election conduction process is necessary and mandatory. In this regard, the Election Commission has ordered the Chief Secretaries and CEOs of Haryana, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir to complete this exercise and submit a report.
