The Election Commission has appointed eleven nodal officers for the smooth conduct of next year’s Manipur assembly elections, officials said on Wednesday (Oct 28, 2026).

Senior IPS officer Kamei Angam Romanus has been appointed as the nodal officer in charge of law, order and security plan, while IAS officer Hungyo Worshang will be in charge of excise duties, a notification issued by the Manipur director general said on Tuesday (October 27, 2026) evening.

Konsam Binku will handle election expenditure monitoring and Khumanthem Diana will be the nodal traffic management officer, it said.

Nodal officers have also been appointed for IT, cyber security, communication plan and other categories.

Assembly elections in Manipur are likely to be held in February-March next year.

Senior Election Commission officials visited Imphal last week to assess the polling preparedness in all 16 districts of the northeastern state.
