Jammu/Srinagar, Dec 1 : After over 70 percent polling in the first round, 18 constituencies in the Jammu region and the Kashmir Valley will vote Tuesday in the second leg of the five-phase polls in Jammu and Kashmir.
With Prime Minister Narendra Modi's shadow hanging heavily on voters, primarily in the Jammu region, it will be a do-or-die battle for a section of the contestants, the political veterans included.
Nine of the constituencies are in the Jammu region: three each in Udhampur, Reasi and Poonch districts. Nine are in the valley: Four in Kulgam district in south Kashmir and five in Kupwara district in north Kashmir.
Of the 1.53 million voters, the highest number are in the Reasi constituency, which has 108,084 electors. Karnah has the least - 32,794 voters.
