With the conclusion of the Special Revision of electoral rolls, there are now 2.43 lakh fewer voters in Assam than there were before the election.
Voters fell from 2,52,01,624 in the integrated draft electoral roll to 2,49,58,139 in the final list, according to data made public by the state’s chief electoral officer’s office on Tuesday.
This represents a decrease of 0.97 per cent compared to the draft electoral roll, an official statement said.
There are 343 third gender voters, 1,24,82,213 male voters, and 1,24,75,583 female voters on the final voter list.
During the Special Revision exercise, which took place between November 22, 2025, and December 27, 2025, 10.26 lakh deletions and 7.87 lakh additions were noted. 53,619 demographically comparable entries were detected for correction, 5,23,680 voters were found to have relocated from their registration addresses, and 4,78,992 names were eliminated because of deaths.
Claims and objections could still be submitted between December 27, 2025, and January 22, 2026.
On December 27, 2025, the combined draft electoral roll was released. Before this, from November 22, 2025, to December 22, 2025, a house-to-house verification campaign was conducted throughout the entire state.
35 District Election Officers, 126 Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), 1,260 Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs), over 29,656 Booth Level Officers (BLOs), and 2,578 BLO Supervisors participated in the verification process, which covered 61,03,103 homes. 61,533 Booth Level Agents (BLAs) were assigned by political parties to help with and oversee the procedure.
The Kamrup Metropolitan (M) region has had a notable decline in voter turnout, following the nationwide trend. According to official data, the final electoral records for SR-2026 show a net deletion of 25,932 electors across five Assembly constituencies.
Overall, the district’s electorate decreased by 2.47%, from 10,75,576 in the draft rolls to 10,49,644 in the final rolls. All five constituencies, Dispur, Dimoria (SC), New Guwahati, Guwahati Central, and Jalukbari recorded the deletions, suggesting a consistent review during the finalization process.
With 6,570 voters eliminated, Dispur LAC saw the largest numerical deletion of the five constituencies, reducing its electorate from 2,49,746 to 2,43,176, a decrease of 2.70%.
According to an earlier government statement, Assam’s electoral roll purification during the current Special Revision cycle is a meticulous administrative exercise aimed at strengthening the integrity of the electoral roll ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.
By facilitating the enrollment of eligible unregistered voters, fixing clerical errors in names, ages, and addresses, eliminating the names of deceased individuals, updating shifted electors, and locating and deleting multiple entries where a single elector is registered at multiple polling stations or constituencies, the exercise aims to create an electoral roll free of errors.
Additionally, a net decrease in “D” (Doubtful) voters was brought about by the revision process. Between the draft and final rolls, the overall number of D-Voters in the five constituencies decreased by 63, or 1.68%, from 3,822 to 3,759 voters.
The largest decline in D-Voters was seen in Dimoria (SC), where the number fell from 1,765 to 1,734. Officials pointed out that a greater proportion of the decrease was attributable to female D-Voters.

On the other hand, there was a minor increase in the number of service electors, which increased from 912 in the draft registers to 918 in the final rolls. This indicates that there was a net addition of six electors throughout Kamrup Metropolitan.
Election officials reaffirmed that voters have been removed through three procedures: duplicate or repeated voters, permanent address changes, and death.
