The last assembly elections were held in 2014
The last assembly elections were held in Jammu and Kashmir in 2014. Then BJP and PDP formed a coalition government. The government fell in 2018 after the coalition broke. After this, Governor’s rule (according to the Jammu and Kashmir Constitution at that time) remained in the state for 6 months. After this, President’s rule came into force.
The 2019 Lok Sabha elections were held during the President’s rule, in which the BJP returned to power at the Centre with a huge majority. After this, on 5 August 2019, the BJP government abolished Article 370 and divided the state into two union territories (Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh). In this way, assembly elections are being held in Jammu and Kashmir after 10 years.
