The Election Commission has cancelled the Anantnag Lok Sabha bypoll, saying the ground situation is not conducive to hold free and fair elections.
The bypoll, earlier slated to be held on 12 April, was postponed for 25 May due to poor law and order situation.
The commission, which issued the order late on Monday night, said non-availability of sufficient number of security personnel was another reason to cancel the poll process.
The 10-page order said a fresh date would be announced later.
