Women Outnumber Men on Electoral Rolls in 4 Northeastern States

Women voters outnumbered male voters in the electoral rolls of four northeastern states—Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh—where the overall gender ratio was much higher than the national average. Officials today said that the final electoral rolls of the four northeastern states, released by the Election Commission yesterday as part of a Special Summary Revision 2025, showed this trend. Against the national gender ratio of 948, the gender ratio in the electoral rolls of Manipur is 1,070, followed by 1,066 in Mizoram, 1,037 in Arunachal Pradesh, and 1,028 in Meghalaya. The national gender ratio on the electoral rolls increased from 940 in 2023 to 948 in 2024, the officials said.
