ECI Releases Electoral Roll Draft For Assam, 10.5 Lakh Names Deleted

The Election Commission of India has released updated electoral rolls for Assam, showing 2,51,09,754 registered voters. During a Special Revision exercise, 10,56,291 names were deleted from the lists. Officials say the overhaul comes with the state expected to vote for the Assembly within the next six months.

The removed entries include voters marked due to death, migration to other places, or duplication across constituencies. The revision also confirms that 93,021 names remain classified as D-voters, or doubtful voters, and these are counted separately. These figures reflect only confirmed electors, excluding those still under verification.

Assam Assembly elections electoral rolls update

According to the integrated draft rolls released on Saturday, the cleaned-up database aims to reduce errors during the upcoming Assam Assembly elections. Polling staff have been cross-checking documents and previous lists to ensure that only eligible voters stay on the rolls across the state.

On 14 December 2025, polling officials in Guwahati were seen checking voter lists as part of preparations. The scene recalled earlier poll seasons, but with added focus on accuracy after the revision. The updated rolls are expected to guide planning for booths, staff, and security deployment across Assam.

With the Assembly polls approaching, the latest figures outline the electorate that will shape the next state government. The removal of entries due to death, migration, and duplication seeks to limit disputes on polling day. The separate listing of D-voters also highlights ongoing verification work before the elections.
