The Ladakh UT comprises two districts – Muslim- dominated Kargil and Buddhist-dominated Leh. A total electorate of 1,82,571, including 91,703 males and 90868 females, are eligible to vote. The EC has set up 577 polling stations across the UT, including 33 in urban and 544 in rural areas. In view of inaccessibility of some polling stations in Ladakh, the polling material and staff will be airlifted to remote villages.
