Among those who died were a woman, a security guard and three election duty staff, when suspected tribal rebels attacked a polling booth in the state's Chandel district.
'The militants are suspected to be from the National Socialist Council of Nagaland faction,' a police officer said.
No group, however, has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.
