New Delhi, December 1: The counting of votes in Mizoram will take place on December 4, a day after it was originally scheduled, the Election Commission said on Friday. It said the decision was taken following representations from various quarters requesting for a change in the date of counting from December 3 on the ground that Sunday holds a special significance for the people of Mizoram, a Christian-majority state.

"The Commission, having considered these representations, has decided to revise the date of counting for the General Election to the Legislative Assembly of Mizoram from 3rd December, 2023 (Sunday) to 4th December, 2023 (Monday)," it stated. Republic-MATRIZE Exit Poll 2023 Results for Mizoram Assembly Election: Survey Indicates MNF Lead, ZPM May Emerge as Strong Contender; Check Seat-Wise Details.
