when is the election in ladakh
Let us tell you that after repealing Article 370, the government separated Ladakh from Jammu and Kashmir and made it a union territory. However, the Election Commission along with Jammu and Kashmir has not yet made any announcement regarding elections in Ladakh. But it is believed that elections will be held in Ladakh only by next year. Because snowfall increases in winter. It is very difficult to conduct elections due to snowfall.
