The state election commissioner is appointed by LG on the recommendations of a committee consisting of the chief minister [chairperson], a senior minister to be nominated member by the chief minister, speaker of Legislative Assembly, minister incharge Panchayats and leader of opposition in legislative Assembly.
The law further provides that State Election Commissioner shall be appointed by the Lieutenant Governor of Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir when J&K is without an elected government and proclamation under section 73 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019 is in force.
