The elections, scheduled for June 26, 2024, will encompass the Dimapur Municipal Council, East Dimapur Town Council, Chumoukedima Town Council, Medziphema Town Council, and Niuland Town Council.

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.

Sources in the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer said the voter turnout figure is an approximate one as the collection of data from polling stations in remote areas takes time.
