Female voters outnumber males again in Mizoram

There are more female voters than male ones yet again in Mizoram, the latest electoral rolls released on Thursday show, with the voter sex ratio currently at 1000 males: 1040 females.

In all, 29 out of 40 assembly constituencies have a higher ratio of female voters.

Mizoram has over the years always had more female than male voters although the current 40-seat assembly has just one female legislator, that too after a 27 year gap.

The overall voting population of the state has meanwhile increased by 2.19 percent to reach 7,13,574 voters.
