J&K civic polls: No candidates in 177 municipal wards

Not a single candidate has filed nomination papers for 177 municipal wards out of a total 624 in the Kashmir Valley, while 215 wards will return their representative unopposed. Given the situation of zero candidates in 177 wards, over one lakh electorates would not be exercising their voting rights. Another one lakh voters in 215 other wards would also not exercise their franchise as each of these wards has just one contestant.
