Expert analysis and insights
The March 5 election is the product of intense youth-led protests against corruption and democratic stagnation. This piece explores whether the interim government, the Election Commission and political parties are doing enough – through the code of conduct, electoral reforms debate and candidate selection – to answer Generation Z’s call for cleaner politics.
Deep dive — Election 2026
Read Analysis →With the House of Representatives election scheduled for March 5, Nepal is attempting something unusual in its recent democratic history: a nationwide federal and provincial vote at the tail-end of winter. This analysis examines whether logistics, weather planning and security coordination are keeping pace with the political timetable.

The March 5 election is the first national test of whether the anger that fuelled the Gen-Z protests can be channeled into constructive democratic participation. Institutions now face a dual challenge: protecting youth rights on polling day and responding credibly after the votes are counted.

Read Analysis →Amid speculation that heavy winter conditions could delay voting in mountain districts, the Election Commission has publicly affirmed its commitment to the 5 March date. Contingency plans include early transport of materials and flexible deployment.
View All BriefsThe final logistical data published by the Election Commission show that the number of polling stations and polling centres has increased, not decreased, compared to 2022. For the March 5, 2026 election, the Commission has designated 10,967 polling stations and 23,112 polling centres nationwide, which is an increase of 75 stations and 885 centres relative to the last general election. These additional centres are intended to ease crowding, especially in rapidly urbanising areas and in local units where the voter roll has grown significantly. While some specific settlements may still feel under-served due to geography or population shifts, the overall national trend is toward more, not fewer, polling locations. Claims that the Commission has cut the number of centres across the board therefore contradict the official figures. That does not mean concerns about accessibility and long queues are unfounded, but they relate to local implementation and resource allocation rather than a nationwide reduction in polling infrastructure.
