Assam’s voter list expanded by 2,18,771 electors under the latest Special Summary Revision, lifting the state's registered electorate to 2,51,76,910, state election officials announced on Thursday.
The draft list marks an immediate expansion over the 2,49,58,139 voters recorded in the final roll published on February 10 earlier this year. During the intervening verification drive, election authorities added 4,12,344 new names and struck off 1,93,573 ineligible entries.
Women now hold a numerical edge across the state's polling booths. Female voters stand at 1,25,88,939, slightly edging out the 1,25,87,650 registered male voters by 1,289 electors. Another 321 individuals registered under the third-gender category.
The revision catalogued substantial participation across specific demographic brackets, led by 2,87,233 first-time voters aged between 18 and 19.
Elderly electors aged 85 and above account for 1,22,198 names, while voters registered under the persons with disabilities category total 2,05,962. External voting registries logged 63,237 service personnel and six overseas Indian electors.
To manage the expanded base, the state established 31,516 polling stations—averaging 799 voters per booth.

Sharp divides define the geographic spread of the electorate across Assam's legislative seats.
Dalgaon holds the largest electorate in the state with 3,25,746 voters. At the other end of the spectrum sits Amri, a constituency reserved for Scheduled Tribes, which registers just 1,01,509 electors—a gap of more than 2.24 lakh voters between the largest and smallest seats.
Station distribution mirrors these gaps. Mankachar commands the highest number of polling booths at 402, whereas the Scheduled Tribe-reserved constituency of Dotma operates with just 147.
Yet the process has drawn sharp political scrutiny. Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev submitted a formal representation to the Election Commission of India, flagging what she termed an excessively rushed electoral roll revision cycle across the state.
Election authorities have opened a one-month statutory window running from November 12 to December 11, 2026, for citizens to verify entries, file claims, or submit objections. Following the disposal of all representations, the Election Commission will publish the definitive, final electoral roll on January 4, 2027.
