The latest electoral roll released for Mizoram shows a higher number of female voters compared to male voters, marking a repeat of the previous gender imbalance.
The Mizoram State Election Commission has published the final electoral roll for the upcoming elections, revealing that the number of registered female voters now exceeds that of male voters. This marks the second consecutive release where women constitute a slight majority on the state's voter list.
Officials noted that the gender balance shift reflects growing political participation among women in the northeastern state, though they did not disclose the exact head‑count. The commission emphasized that the roll will be used for the forthcoming legislative assembly polls and that all entries have been verified according to standard procedures.
Analysts observe that Mizoram has historically shown a more balanced gender composition in its electorate compared to many other Indian states, and the latest data reinforces the trend of increasing female engagement in the democratic process.
