Assam Publishes Draft Electoral Roll With 25 Million Voters

The Chief Electoral Officer of Assam published a draft electoral roll on November 12, 2026, listing 25,176,910 electors. This total includes 12,588,939 women, 12,587,650 men, and 321 third-gender electors, marking a net increase of 218,771 voters since the final list published on February 10, 2026.

The update resulted from a Special Revision conducted by the Election Commission of India. This specific process is unique to Assam to account for the state's distinct citizenship provisions and is intended to eliminate errors between routine summary revisions and intensive revisions.

Citizens have until December 11 to file claims and objections regarding the draft. The government expects to publish the final electoral roll on January 4, 2027.
