Explanation:

Erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir had 111 seats including 24 reserved for PoK while elections were held for 87 seats.

With creation of Ladakh as Union Territory, four seats of the region were reduced and the Assembly was left with 83 seats.

However, with increase of seven seats, J&K UT will have an Assembly of 90 seats.

Two Women MLAs will be nominated to the House, which was the position earlier also.

Section 47 of J&K Constitution empowers Governor to nominate two women as members of the Assembly if he is of the opinion that women are not adequately represented in the House.
