The Meghalaya Autonomous District Council elections will now use a distinct tribal electoral roll, a move aimed at enhancing representation for indigenous communities.
The Autonomous District Council (ADC) elections in Meghalaya are set to adopt a separate tribal electoral roll.
This change is intended to streamline voter registration for indigenous communities and ensure that their electoral interests are distinctly represented.
The new roll will be compiled in parallel with the general electoral register, allowing tribal candidates to contest seats reserved for them.
Officials say the move will improve transparency and reduce administrative overlap, though the exact implementation timeline remains to be announced.
