A one-day seminar on Systematic Voters Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) on the clean election was held on 16th February 2023 at the multipurpose cultural hall Zunheboto.

Linovi Kiba, the 1st runner-up of Miss Sumi 2022, who is the SVEEP icon Zunheboto, exhorted that the people have the power to rightfully choose the right leaders for a better tomorrow. She also said, "electoral participation is the most essential for our community's growth and if we dutifully carry it out, our society will witness a revival and we will be able to navigate our future towards a brighter end." She further added that the constitution has provided the most important power, which is the right to vote. Under the Universal Adult Franchise, all citizens who are of 18 years and above have been given the right to vote and so urged everyone to practice a clean election process.

Deputy Commissioner and DEO Zunheboto, Bhanudas Mali, IAS said that the election is a festival of democracy and urged the people to celebrate the election peacefully without any violence. He acknowledged various organizations and villages who have pledged to a clean and fair election and for giving support to the administration and the Election Commission of India.

He also warned that on the day of the election, no private vehicles will be allowed to ply from one place to another without proper authorization from the administration. This is done so as to prevent proxy voting, and double voting and to prevent any forms of illegal means to disturb the election process. He applauded the people of Zunheboto for not having any kind of election violence to date.
