No SIR figures for Jammu and Kashmir are in the record yet.
Not in the SIR orders in the record. PTI (11 Apr 2026) described a planned Phase III including Jammu and Kashmir; the ECI order of 14 May 2026 does not list it (sir-rules-phase3-order).
On 16 April 2026 Election Commissioner Sukhbir Singh Sandhu told senior officers that many communications were going out in the Commission's name without its approval and that all must now have it, citing the 2023 Act; the same day he recorded that the IT division had built new modules without informing him. On 24 April Vivek Joshi issued a similar direction citing Article 324 and the Act.
