Nagaland is set to hold civic polls after two decades, implementing a women’s quota policy mandated by the Nagaland Municipal Act of 2023. The decision comes after violent protests in 2017, which resulted in two fatalities, triggered by the reservation policy. The State Election Commission approved the election schedule, detailing the rotation of wards reserved for women.
