Eligible Nepali Voters Sign-up Themselves On Electoral List For March 2026 Election, Called After Gen-Z Revolution

10 October 2025

Nepali eligible voters stand in queue to get their biometrics done 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.

12 April 2025

Tattoo artists and enthusiasts get tattooed during the ''Nepal Tattoo Convention'' organized in Lalitpur, Nepal, on April 12, 2025. Tattoo culture in Nepal is one of the oldest traditions practiced widely by the Newa:, Tharu, Gurungs, and Magar, the aboriginals of the Himalayan nation. According to the younger generation, traditional tattoos lack precise details, linking them more to the communities and spiritual beliefs, but modern tattoo designs focus more on aesthetics. Driven by aesthetic values, younger generations now fuse traditional beliefs with modern designs to ink various parts of their bodies. In Kathmandu Valley, tattoos in the past were mostly done during the Jatras (festivals) and Melas (carnivals) like Rato Machindra Jatra and Indra Jatra. Kathmandu's Tebahal and Bhaktapur's Thimi are famous for tattoo art, which is called ''Lha: Chyogu'' in the Nepali Bhasha or the Newa: language. 'Lha' in Newa: means 'flesh' and 'chyogu' means 'writing'; the tattoo on the legs of Newari women symbolizes their strength, and a belief follows that a person takes nothing but the tattoos on their body after death. On the way to heaven, if one finds hardships, they can sell the tattoos and therefore make the way to heaven more comfortably. Back then, coal and milk were mixed with plants to produce colors for the ink used to design the tattoos. Now, inks are widely used, poured into a machine, and then run over the sketched areas of the body.
