Assam Draft Electoral Roll Drops 10.56 Lakh Names After EC Special Revision

Objections are open through January 22 ahead of final publication on February 10.

Overview

  • The integrated draft lists 2.51 crore registered voters, excluding 93,021 people marked as D-voters whose citizenship is in doubt.
  • Deletions followed door-to-door verification and were attributed to deaths (about 4.79 lakh), voters shifting (about 5.23 lakh), and duplicate entries (53,619).
  • D-voters remain on the draft with their particulars but are not issued voter cards, reflecting determinations by tribunals under the Foreigners Act, 1946.
  • Election staff covered more than 61 lakh households between November 22 and December 20 to verify entries on the ground.
  • Assam conducted a Special Revision rather than a Special Intensive Revision, and the state now has 31,486 polling stations after rationalisation.
