Violence between the Kuki (who constitute the majority in the state) Christian and the Meitei Hindu in the neighbouring state of Manipur that year was a major political issue alongside clashes between police personnel of the state & that of the neighbouring state of Assam over border disputes in 2021.^{[citation needed]}

Results were initially scheduled to be published on 3 December alongside those of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan & Telangana but was rescheduled to 4 December, because of 3 December being a major holiday for the Christian majority in Mizoram that year.^[31]
