The Election Commission’s draft electoral roll for Manipur lists 19.94 lakh voters, with women outnumbering men for the first time.
The Election Commission of India has released the draft electoral roll for the state of Manipur, listing a total of 19.94 lakh voters. The roll shows 10.2 lakh women and 9.74 lakh men, marking the first time that women outnumber men in the state’s voter base.
The draft list is now open for public scrutiny, allowing citizens and political parties to verify and raise objections if necessary. The Election Commission will consider any corrections before finalizing the roll.
Political analysts note that the shift could influence campaign strategies, as parties may need to address issues that resonate more with women voters. The updated voter base also reflects demographic changes in Manipur over recent years.
The finalized voter list will be used for the upcoming assembly elections, scheduled for later this year. Election officials have urged voters to check their details and report any discrepancies promptly.
