Elections held in Indian-administered Kashmir for first time in 10 years DW News

Indian-administered Kashmir is holding elections, the first since India's Hindu-nationalist government stripped the region of its semi-autonomous status in 2019. It's also the first regional elections in a decade in the Muslim-majority region. Security is tight for the ballot. In a break with the past, separatists have decided not to boycott the vote. Most candidates are calling for Kashmir's semi-autonomous status to be reinstated.
