Nagaland's first-ever Legislative Assembly election had no political parties on the ballot — every candidate stood as an independent.

Independent candidates won all 40 seats in Nagaland's new assembly.

That was 100.0% of the vote share — the slice of all ballots cast that went to one party or candidate.

It cleared the 21-seat majority mark by 19 seats.

This was Nagaland's first assembly election, so there was no earlier result to compare it against.

In many constituencies, only one candidate stood — an unopposed return, deciding the seat without a vote.

14 of the state's 40 constituencies were settled that way.

The candidate field stayed modest overall, averaging 1.8 candidates a seat.

A few numbers from that first election stand out.

The closest race was in Mokokchung Town, Nagaland, decided by a margin — how far ahead the winner finished, in votes, over whoever came second — of just 26 votes.

At the other extreme, Aunglenden, Nagaland saw the widest margin of the night, with the winner ahead by 76.2% of the vote.

Turnout — the share of registered voters who actually cast a ballot — peaked in Chizami, Nagaland, at 91.1%.

Statewide, turnout for this first election reached 50.1%.

This election followed Nagaland's creation as a full state.
