The Election Commission of India on Tuesday held an internal meeting on the issue of delimitation to be carried out in Jammu and Kashmir after Parliament passed the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisational Bill last week.

According to an official aware of the developments, the commission was familiarising itself with the provisions of the Bill as per which the state will now be transformed into two Union Territories—Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh that will come into effect on October 31.

Delimitation is the process of fixing limits or boundaries of territorial constituencies in a country or a province with a legislative body.
