On September 20, 2023, Jammu Municipal Corporation initiated the process for Urban Local Bodies (ULB) elections in Jammu and Kashmir, with training for officials and the dispatch of electronic voting machines (EVMs) to districts. However, amid political debates, the polls faced potential postponement due to security concerns, contradicting claims of improved security. The delay in Jammu's polls was attributed to the BJP's desire to maintain a narrative of integration following Article 370's abrogation. Opposition parties highlighted public discontent and held meetings in Jammu to address regional grievances.
