Nepali eligible voters record their biometrics at an election office in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 10, 2025, signing up on the electoral list for the election called next March. Following the issuance of the Voter Roll Act, 2016, by the Nepal President in September, the Election Commission-Nepal updates the electoral list from early October. The ordinance is issued under Article 114(1) of the Constitution, based on the recommendation of the Council of Ministers. It amends Section 4(2)(2) of the Voter List Act, which bars registration after the announcement of an election date. The newly formed interim government led by Prime Minister Sushila Karki calls for elections on March 5 next year. According to the previous provision, ''once the date of election is announced, no voter registration shall be made for that election.'' This legal hurdle prevents eligible citizens, particularly youth who recently reach voting age, from being listed in the voter roll. Many young people who play a role in the political change have not yet been registered as voters despite being eligible. The ordinance is brought to address this gap and ensure broader participation in the election. After a violent protest on September 8 and 9, then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli steps down from the post, which claims the lives of 74 people. Following the change in regime, Nepali President Ramchandra Paudel, on the recommendation of youth representatives, appoints former Chief Justice Sushila Karki as Prime Minister of an interim government. Karki, who takes charge as the interim Prime Minister, also recommends dissolving the House of Representatives, one of the key demands of the agitators, giving Karki six months to conduct parliamentary elections.
