Srinagar/Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir will vote on Wednesday in the sixth and penultimate phase of the Assembly elections that have seen mass participation despite boycott calls by separatists.

The elections will be held in 16 constituencies in five districts – 10 in Anantnag and Kulgam in the Kashmir Valley, and six in Doda, Kishtwar and Ramban in the Jammu region. While Mr. Sayeed of the People’s Democratic Party is fighting from Anantnag, Mr. Azad of the Congress is seeking re-election from Bhaderwah in Doda district.
