    <select id="region" style="width: 125px;"></select>
    <select id="municipality" style="width: 125px;"></select>
    <select id="districtName" style="width: 125px;"></select>
    <form action="http://httpbin.org/post" method="post">
         <select data-placeholder='Select Neighbourhoods' id="selectNeigh" multiple class='chosen-select'style="width: 125px;"></select>
    </form>
</body>

So my current code works fine if I use the regular html multiple select. However, when I implement the following code: HTML: Select multiple as dropdown. The options are no longer being populated for select eight. Can someone please help me out.

If you need to update the options in your select field and want Chosen to pick up the changes, you'll need to trigger the "chosen:updated" event on the field. Chosen will re-build itself based on the updated content.

$("#form_field").trigger("chosen:updated");

So you have trigger the update event in your createOption function.

  function createOption(dropDown, options) {
      dropDown.innerHTML = '';
          options.forEach(function(value) {
               dropDown.innerHTML  = '<option name="'   value   '">'   value   '</option>';
           });
      
       $(".chosen-select").trigger("chosen:updated");
  };
