Mizoram is scheduled to hold election on November 7, 2023 and the results are to be declared on December 3, 2023, as per ECI. Mizoram assembly elections have been a bag of surprises for political parties, currently ruled by Mizo National Party (MNP).
The 2018 Assembly elections of Mizoram took place on November 28 across 40 constituencies and the total turnout was 80.15 per cent. The Mizo National Party won 27 seats out of 40 in the 2018 elections and CM Zoramthanga served his three consecutive terms.
