Assam Draft Electoral Roll Records 2.51 Crore Electors

The electorate in Assam has seen a significant rise, with the newly published Draft Electoral Roll for the 2027 Special Summary Revision (SSR) recording a total of 2,51,76,910 electors. This update, released by the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, marks a major milestone in the state's preparation for upcoming electoral processes.

According to the official data, the state has experienced a net increase of 2,18,771 voters compared to the previous final roll published in February. This growth was the result of a continuous revision process where 4,12,344 new electors were added to the list, while 1,93,573 entries were deleted.

The demographic breakdown reveals a nearly balanced gender distribution, consisting of 1,25,87,650 male electors and 1,25,88,939 female electors, along with 321 third-gender voters. The roll also highlights key segments of the population, including 2,87,233 young voters aged 18–19, 2,05,962 Persons with Disabilities (PwD), and 1,22,198 citizens aged 85 and above. Additionally, the list includes 63,237 service electors and 6 overseas electors.

Claims and Objections Window

To ensure the accuracy and inclusivity of the voter list, the Election Commission has invited citizens to verify their details. Eligible voters can submit claims or objections regarding their entries from 12 November 2026 to 11 December 2026. This period is crucial for maintaining an error-free and transparent electoral database.

In terms of regional distribution, the Dalgaon LAC has recorded the highest number of electors at 3,25,746, while the Amri (ST) LAC has the lowest with 1,01,509. Regarding polling infrastructure, the Mankachar LAC manages the state's highest number of polling stations at 402, whereas the Dotma (ST) LAC has the fewest at 147. Across the state, there are a total of 31,516 polling stations, with an average of 799 electors per station.

The final publication of the updated Electoral Rolls is scheduled for 4 January 2027. The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer has appealed to all stakeholders, political parties, and citizens to actively participate in this revision process to ensure a seamless democratic exercise.
