The Eastern Naga People’s Organization (ENPO) led a campaign urging citizens to abstain from voting and led a complete shutdown in the region, advocating for autonomous territory.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) took a proactive step towards increasing voter turnout by organising a 'Conference on Low Voter Turnout' with Municipal Commissioners and District Education Officers.
