In Kashmir, 547 people have died during the current election campaign. The dead included 269 rebels, 158 civilians and 34 politicians running for election. The rebels want to prevent the  elections in order to further their goal of independence. A functioning state government in Kashmir does not aid the separatist cause. The current elections are taking place in four phases (lasting into early October) because there are not enough election machines and, more importantly, security troops, to run the voting all at once. The voter turnout so far has been 40-50 percent.
