JAMMU, Dec 8: Out of 19,575 migrant voters in the third phase only 8168 voters are going to exercise their right of franchise tomorrow for 16 Assembly constituencies of Kashmir Valley.

However a paltry number of 8168 migrants have filled up their M Forms to cast vote which is even less than the half number of total migrant voters in these districts.

Out of 16 constituencies Uri Assembly Segment in Baramulla district has lowest number of 333 voters while Khansahib Assembly Segment in Budgam has 602 migrant voters.
