Jammu Tawi, March 29 -- The Election Commission of India has announced a special summary revision of voter lists in Jammu and Kashmir's Nagrota and Budgam assembly constituencies where bye-elections are due shortly.

The revision will be based on April 1, 2025, as the qualifying date, ahead of the upcoming bye-elections, said a notification issued by the Election Commission of India.

The Nagrota seat in Jammu district and the Budgam seat became vacant due to the death of MLA Devender Singh Rana and the resignation of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah from Budgam but he retained the Ganderbal seat, a stronghold of his party, the National Conference (NC).

Rana passed away at the age of 59 on October 31 last year at a private hospital in Haryana'...
