Nagaland is holding its first urban local body (ULB) elections in two decades today, marking a historic moment with the introduction of a 33% reservation for women. The last ULB election in the state was conducted in 2004 without any reservation for women. This election comes after 20 years of resistance to the reservation policy. Over 2.23 lakh voters are expected to participate in these municipal elections, which are seen as a significant step towards gender equality in the state's political landscape. Voting is taking place on Wednesday.
