For the first time in a decade, elections are being held in 47 assembly seats of Kashmir, long marked by violence and unrest.
The region, claimed by both India and Pakistan, has been the cause of three wars between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
The three-phase polls will also extend to the 43 seats in the neighbouring Hindu-majority Jammu region.
The election is the first since 2019, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government revoked Jammu and Kashmir’s autonomy and split it into two federally-administered territories.
