The draft roll was released by District Election Officer (DEO) Pi Navneet Mann at the DC Conference Hall, Lunglei, and copies were handed over to representatives of recognised political parties and civil society organisations.

Addressing the gathering, DEO Pi Navneet Mann said that the Special Intensive Revision, being conducted from 20 May to 6 September 2026, is the first comprehensive revision of electoral rolls since 2005 which aims to ensure a more accurate, transparent and error-free electoral roll. She expressed satisfaction that the publication of the draft electoral roll had been completed on schedule following the successful completion of pre-mapping, printing, distribution, collection and verification of Enumeration Forms (EFs).

The DEO thanked all stakeholders, including Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs), the Election Branch, Booth Level Officers (BLOs), Assistant BLOs, Supervisors, Booth Level Agents (BLAs), Local and Village Councils, recognised political parties, voluntary organisations such as YMA, MHIP and MUP, the media and the general public for their cooperation. She appealed for their continued support during the remaining stages of the revision process.

She also urged all electors to verify their names in the draft electoral roll and utilise the claims and objections period from 4 July to 4 August 2026 for inclusion of new names, deletion, correction, transposition or any other necessary changes.

The publication programme was attended by election officials, EROs and AEROs, the District Media Nodal Officer (DMNO), representatives of political parties, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and the Mizoram Journalists' Association (MJA).

Of the 98,808 electors included in the draft roll, 39,041 electors had their own names appearing in the 2005 SIR records, while 57,506 electors were linked through the names of their parents. Another 2,261 electors could not be mapped either through their own names or those of their family members. These electors will be informed to submit the required supporting documents and appear before the concerned EROs or AEROs for verification.

Eligible Indian citizens who have attained the age of 18 years on or before 1 July 2026 (born on or before 1 July 2008) may submit applications for fresh enrolment, deletion, correction or transposition of entries until 4 August 2026 through their respective BLOs or directly to the concerned EROs.
