10.56 lakh names cut on draft rolls in Assam

28 DECEMBER 2025

The names of 10.56 lakh voters have been deleted on the draft electoral rolls of Assam which were published after a house-to-house verification of the voter lists during the special revision exercise conducted by the Election Commission in the State from November 22 to December 20, 2025.
Of the deleted voters, almost 4.79 lakh are dead, over 5.23 lakh have shifted, and 53,619 were found to have duplicate entries on the rolls.
The EC has completed a special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, and the SIR is under way in 12 States and Union Territories.
Unlike these States, however, Assam is undergoing a “special revision” instead of an SIR.
The total number of electors in Assam, according to the CEO’s office, is 2,52,02,775. However, this includes more than 93,000 “D voters”, whose cases are pending before Foreigners’ Tribunals and who are not permitted to vote in elections until their citizenship is upheld by a court.
The 61,03,103 household visits across the State covered the 2,51,09,752 voters excluding the “D voters”, the CEO’s office said.
Assam is scheduled to hold Assembly elections in 2026.
