The Election Commission of India officially released the integrated draft electoral rolls for Assam on December 27, 2025, disclosing the systematic removal of 10,56,291 voter names as part of a meticulously conducted Special Revision exercise designed to ensure accuracy and integrity in the voter list ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections expected within the next six months.
Following the purification process, the state now registers 2,51,09,754 eligible voters in the draft rolls, while separately maintaining records for 93,021 individuals classified as D-voters—those whose citizenship status has been questioned by designated tribunals under the Foreigners Act, 1946, resulting in their disenfranchisement and exclusion from receiving standard voter identity cards, with their details carried forward unchanged.
The deletions were categorized precisely: 4,78,992 names were struck off due to confirmed deaths of registered voters, 5,23,680 were eliminated after verification revealed permanent shifts away from previously recorded addresses, and 53,619 entries were addressed as demographically similar duplicates requiring correction to prevent multiple representations.
