A total of 57.72% of 13.25 lakh people had cast their votes in the elections to the seat on April 19.

Before polling, several Naga organisations, led by the Eastern Nagaland Public Organisation (ENPO), declared a boycott of Lok Sabha election demanding the formation of a separate administration for six districts of Eastern Nagaland - Mon, Kiphire, Longleng, Noklak, Shamator and Tuensang - through the creation of a separate Frontier Nagaland Territory. The organisation then announced a shutdown in the region which wasn’t lifted until after polling, on April 20. The region witnessed a record zero voter turnout.
