Mizoram observer reviews Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Lunglei

Electoral Roll Observer Dr Lalhriatzuali Ralte, IAS, Secretary of the Labour, Employment, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Department and Chief Executive Officer of the Mizoram State Health Care Society, visited Lunglei on 8 July 2026 to review the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Electoral Rolls, 2026.

A review meeting was held at the DC Conference Hall in Lunglei, 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. Deputy District Election Officer Pi Zoramdini chaired the meeting, while Election Officer Pi Lalhruaitluangi presented the status of the draft electoral roll and the progress of SIR 2026 in the district.

Dr Ralte reviewed the implementation of SIR 2026 and heard feedback from officials, political parties and NGOs, saying her visit was meant to assess progress and convey observations to the Election Commission of India. Noting that Lunglei is one of Mizoram’s largest districts and shares an international border, she stressed the need for extra vigilance during the revision, while appreciating the district administration’s coordination with political parties, Local and Village Councils and NGOs.

She urged stakeholders to ensure only eligible Indian citizens are included in the electoral roll, that all eligible persons aged 18 and above are enrolled, and that no eligible voter is left out, while also encouraging wider use of the Voter Helpline App. She examined SIR-related records and discussed measures for an error-free electoral roll.

The Draft Electoral Roll for SIR 2026 was published on 4 July 2026. Lunglei District’s six Assembly Constituencies — Lunglei North, Lunglei East, Lunglei West, Lunglei South, Thorang and West Tuipui — have 98,808 electors in total, comprising 48,918 male and 49,890 female voters, along with 478 service voters. Applications for new enrolment, correction and other updates may be submitted until 4 August 2026, with the final electoral roll due for publication on 6 September 2026.
