As many as 3372 nominations were filed for 1145 wards.

Of 79 civic bodies, elections could not be held in 27 civic bodies in the Valley due to no candidate or only one candidate had filed nominations. In the absence of two major regional parties – National Conference (NC) and the People's Democratic Alliance (PDP) – the fight is between the traditional rivals the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
