1984 Mizoram Legislative Assembly election

The 1984 Mizoram Legislative Assembly election was conducted on January 18, 1984, marking a significant milestone in the political landscape of Mizoram, India. This election was pivotal as it followed the end of a decade-long insurgency and the consequent signing of the Mizoram Accord in 1986, which aimed to restore peace and normalize governance in the region. The election was held to constitute the first fully elected assembly post-statehood, granting the people of Mizoram an opportunity to elect their representatives after years of instability. The Indian National Congress (INC) emerged as the dominant party, winning a majority of seats, which facilitated the establishment of a stable government. Voter turnout was notably high, reflecting the populace's eagerness to participate in the democratic process.
