One party won nearly every seat in this record's earliest Jammu & Kashmir election.

The National Conference won 70 of the state's 75 seats — a landslide by seat share.

That left it 32 seats clear of the 38-seat majority mark.

Its nearest rival, the Praja Party, managed just 3.

No earlier result exists in this record to measure this election against.

Many of that year's seats never even went to a vote — an unopposed return, where only one candidate stood, so no vote was needed to decide it.

34 of the state's 75 constituencies were decided that way.

Turnout — the share of registered voters who actually cast a ballot — reached 39.4%.

A few numbers from the results stand out.

The closest race was in Udhampur, Jammu & Kashmir, decided by a margin — how far ahead the winner finished, in votes, over whoever came second — of just 188.

Turnout peaked in Leh, Jammu & Kashmir, where 90.0% of registered voters cast a ballot.

Nowshera, Jammu & Kashmir was the largest constituency by registered voters, with 34,800 names on the rolls.

The most crowded contest was Jammu City Southern, Jammu & Kashmir, where 7 candidates stood.

This is the earliest result in this record, and no historical event here is tied to it specifically.
