At the 2016 census, its population was 11,472, in 3,377 families, all of them Azerbaijanis. The city lies on the western bank of the Aras River.

Poldasht is a Persian word meaning arable land by the bridge. The city is situated near the border crossing with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan. Across the Poldasht-Shah Takhti Bridge over the Aras is the Azerbaijani village of Şahtaxtı.
