Nepal Election 2084 (Mission 84): The Ultimate Guide

With 'Mission 84' trending, the 2027 General Election is set to be historic. We analyze the legal framework, voter registration, and what this movement means for you.

What is “Mission 84”?

“Mission 84” is not just a hashtag—it is a political phenomenon shaping the next General Election of Nepal, scheduled for 2084 B.S. (2027 A.D.). Spearheaded initially by the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) and adopted by major parties like UML and Maoist Center, it represents a race to secure a majority government.

From a legal perspective, 2084 is critical because it marks the maturation of Nepal’s Federal Republic constitution.

1. The Timeline (Crucial Dates)

While the main event is in late 2084, the legal machinery starts turning much earlier:

2082/83: Voter List Update (Bio-metric registration) in all 77 districts.
2083 End: Finalization of Constituency De-limitation (if borders are adjusted).
2084 Mid: Candidate Nominations and Code of Conduct activation.

Legal Tip: If you are abroad (Dubai, Australia, USA), the Election Commission is actively working on “Out of Country” voting mechanisms. Ensure your name is on the voter list when you visit Nepal next!

2. Candidacy Laws: Who Can Run?

The “Mission 84” wave is encouraging young professionals to run. Here is the legal checklist:

Age: 25 Years completed for House of Representatives.
Citizenship: Nepali Citizen by descent (Naturalized citizens face restrictions for key posts).
Clean Record: No conviction in corruption, banking offenses, or moral turpitude.
No Dual Office: You must resign from any paid public post (like a government job) before filing nomination.

3. Campaign Finance Rules

The Election Commission is enforcing stricter spending limits.

Expense Cap: Approximately NPR 25-33 Lakhs per candidate (subject to revision).
Social Media: Paid ads on Facebook/TikTok must be declared. Using “Fake News” or deepfakes to attack opponents is a cyber crime under the Election Offense Act.

4. What Should You Do Now?

Check Your Voter ID: Visit your District Election Office or the official website. If your name is missing, you cannot vote, no matter how much you support “Mission 84”.
Verify Party Membership: If you plan to run, active membership renewal is key.
Stay Informed: Follow official Election Commission notices, not just TikTok influencers.

Conclusion

The 2084 Election will likely be the most digitally contested election in Nepal’s history. Whether you are a “No Not Again” supporter or a staunch party loyalist, your legal right to vote is your biggest power.
