In Assam, the final voter list has seen the removal of 243,485 names, which constitutes a 0.97% decrease from the draft voter list. The individuals removed primarily include those who are permanently migrated, registered voters in multiple locations, and those lacking proper citizenship documents. This situation arises amidst the ongoing citizenship determination process in its final phase, with a more thorough special re-verification of voter lists expected to occur later.

As per the recently published final list, there are a total of 24,958,139 voters in Assam, which includes 12,482,213 men, 12,475,583 women, and 343 third-gender voters. Assam is projected to hold assembly elections in April-May, with the current assembly's term set to expire on May 20, 2026. The adjustments in the voter list come as part of the Election Commission's routine processes, despite the heightened scrutiny surrounding the state’s citizenship status reform.

Moreover, the Election Commission has stated that individuals may file an appeal against any decision made by the electoral registration officers within 15 days. This provision indicates the commission's commitment to ensuring fair electoral processes, especially as the region prepares for what is anticipated to be a significant election cycle, given the existing political and social dynamics in Assam.
