2025 In the 2025-2026 general election, according to Section 4 of the Region or State Hluttaw Election Law, as amended for the sixth time in July 2025, the Election Commission must delineate constituencies as follows: for each township, one representative shall be elected using the first-past-the-post (FPTP) system; for the remaining representatives, constituencies shall be formed by combining multiple townships for election under the proportional representation (PR) system.
For the Chin State Hluttaw, 12 of the 24 elected constituencies were elected under the FPTP system, and the remaining 12 under the PR system. However, under the FPTP system, State Hluttaw elections were only able to be held in two townships: Hakha and Tedim. Consequently, according to the election results, the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) won both constituencies. Under the PR system, the USDP secured 5 seats, the Zomi National Party (ZNP) won 3 seats, and the New Chinland Congress Party (NCCP) won 1 seat.
According to the list of military-appointed Region or State Hluttaw representatives announced on 11 February 2026, 4 military representatives are included in the Chin State Hluttaw.
