Abstract: Meghalaya embraces a matrilineal society which is traced to a kinship system where the clan name is determined through maternal lines. Hence women played a very dominant role in society in Meghalaya. This paper examines the political role of women in Meghalaya with a focus on their participation in the general Assembly elections of the state. The study revealed that women played a meagre role in the politics of the state. Meghalaya had a minimal percentage of women elected representatives to the state Assembly.The study also reveals that women were traditionally barred from taking part in decision making in traditional political institutions like the local durbars.

Key Words: Politics, Role, Women, Election.

The Study Involved Recidivist Prisoners At Kamiti Maximum Security Prison And Langata Prison; Male And Female Institutions Respectively. A Sample Of 167 Participants Was Purposively Selected For The Study, And Data Collected By Use Of Questionnaires, Focus Group Discussions And Key Informant Interviews. Both Quantitative And Qualitative Techniques Were Further Employed In Data Analysis.
