Lunglei electoral roll shows near-equal split: 48,918 male, 49,890 female voters

Lunglei district’s Draft Electoral Roll for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Electoral Rolls, 2026, published on 4 July 2026, records 98,808 electors, including 48,918 male voters, 49,890 female voters and 478 service voters, across its six Assembly Constituencies — Lunglei North, Lunglei East, Lunglei West, Lunglei South, Thorang and West Tuipui.

Electoral Roll Observer Dr Lalhriatzuali Ralte, IAS, visited Lunglei on 8 July 2026 to review the revision’s progress. A review meeting at the DC Conference Hall, chaired by Deputy District Election Officer Pi Zoramdini, included a presentation by Election Officer Pi Lalhruaitluangi on the draft roll and SIR 2026 status, attended by election officials, Electoral Registration Officers, Assistant Electoral Registration Officers, the District Media Nodal Officer, and representatives of political parties and civil society organisations.

Dr Ralte, who also serves as Secretary of the Labour, Employment, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Department and CEO of the Mizoram State Health Care Society, said her visit was meant to assess progress and relay observations to the Election Commission of India. She flagged the need for extra vigilance given Lunglei’s size and international border, and praised coordination between the district administration, political parties, Local and Village Councils and NGOs.

She urged that only eligible Indian citizens be enrolled, that all eligible persons aged 18 and above be included, and that no eligible voter be left out, while encouraging wider use of the Voter Helpline App. She also examined SIR-related records during the visit.

Applications for new enrolment, correction, residence shifting and other updates may be submitted until 4 August 2026, with the final electoral roll scheduled for publication on 6 September 2026.
