What is the current total number of seats in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly?

Last updated Jun 13, 2026
Correct Answer: Option D — 90
Following the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act and the subsequent Delimitation Commission report, the total number of contestable seats (where elections are actually held) in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly was increased from 83 to 90 (with 47 seats allocated to the Kashmir division and 43 to the Jammu division). (Note: While the overall statutory framework mentions 114 total seats, 24 of those seats are officially reserved for Pakistan-administered Kashmir and remain vacant, making 90 the active, contestable total for the assembly elections).
