Guwahati, Feb 10: The recently published final electoral rolls for Assam indicate a reduction of over 2.43 lakh voters compared to the draft rolls, reflecting a slight but significant adjustment in the electorate ahead of the forthcoming assembly elections.

As per the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Assam, Anurag Goel, the finalized rolls now list 2.49 crore voters, which is a 0.97% decrease from the draft rolls released on December 27, 2025, that had recorded 2.52 crore electors.

“The final electoral roll has been released following the completion of the claims and objections phase, resulting in the removal of over 2.43 lakh names from the draft,” stated the CEO's office.

The updated rolls consist of approximately 1.25 crore male voters, 1.24 crore female voters, and 343 voters identifying as third-gender, showcasing a nearly balanced gender representation across the state.

In line with the overall trend, the Kamrup Metropolitan district has experienced a notable decrease in voter numbers, with the final electoral rolls for SR-2026 showing a net loss of 25,932 electors across five assembly constituencies, according to official statistics.

The electorate in this district has dropped from 10,75,576 in the draft rolls to 10,49,644 in the final rolls, indicating a total reduction of 2.47%.

All five constituencies—Dispur, Dimoria (SC), New Guwahati, Guwahati Central, and Jalukbari—saw deletions, suggesting a consistent revision process.

Among these, Dispur LAC recorded the highest number of deletions, with 6,570 voters removed, reducing its electorate from 2,49,746 to 2,43,176, a decline of 2.70%.

Guwahati Central followed with 6,333 deletions, while New Guwahati's voter count decreased by 4,569. Dimoria (SC) saw a reduction of 4,150 voters, reflecting a 1.91% drop, and Jalukbari experienced a decrease of 4,310 voters, marking a 2.09% decline.

Data indicates that the majority of deletions in Kamrup Metro were among male voters, with 15,959 males removed compared to 9,968 females, while the count of third-gender electors remained stable at 37.

In the final electoral rolls, male voters total 5,05,429, while female voters number 5,44,183, indicating a higher female voter representation in the district.

The revision process also resulted in a decrease in 'D' (Doubtful) voters, with the total number dropping from 3,822 in the draft roll to 3,759 in the final roll, a reduction of 63 voters or 1.68%.

Dimoria (SC) saw the largest numerical decline in D-Voters, with numbers falling from 1,765 to 1,734, and notably, female D-Voters constituted a larger portion of this reduction, as per officials.

Conversely, the number of service electors saw a slight increase, rising from 912 in the draft rolls to 918 in the final rolls, reflecting a net gain of six electors in Kamrup Metropolitan.

Election officials emphasized that voter deletions occurred through three main processes: death, changes in permanent address, and the removal of duplicate voters.
