The SSR aims to ensure that all eligible voters, Indian citizens aged 18 years and above as of January 1, 2026, residing in the constituency and not disqualified under law, are properly registered.
The CEO, along with District Election Officers (DEOs) and Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), will oversee the process to ensure accuracy and compliance. Public notices and advertisements will precede the final publication to enhance transparency and encourage voter participation.
The 49-Tadubi assembly constituency in Manipur’s Senapati district has been vacant since the death of National People’s Party (NPP) representative N Kayisii on January 18, 2025. The SSR process is a crucial step towards holding the by-election.
