The Election Commission of India has announced a change in the schedule for the Mizoram Assembly election vote counting. Initially set for December 3, the counting process will now take place on December 4. This decision comes in response to multiple requests from different sections of Mizoram, citing the significance of Sunday in the state.

Responding to Public Sentiment

The Election Commission’s shift in the counting date reflects its sensitivity to the cultural and religious importance of Sunday for the people of Mizoram. “Several representations from various quarters requested a change in the counting date from 3rd December 2023, being Sunday, to a weekday,” the Commission stated.
