The process of updating Assam’s electoral rolls has officially begun with a massive house-to-house verification drive, as part of the Special Revision for 2026. Starting from November 22, 2025, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) have started visiting households across the state to ensure the voter list is accurate and up to date.
According to the Chief Electoral Officer of Assam, a total of 29,656 BLOs have been deployed to cover 25,200,775 voters across 25,200,775 polling stations in the state. To assist them in this extensive exercise, 61,533 Booth Level Agents (BLAs) appointed by recognised national and state political parties will be working alongside the BLOs.
The Special Revision uses January 1, 2026, as the qualifying date for determining voter eligibility. Citizens are urged to cooperate with BLOs during the house visits and provide accurate information to help maintain a correct and comprehensive voter list. 
Key dates to remember:
• House-to-House Verification: November 22 to December 20, 2025
• Draft Electoral Roll Publication: December 27, 2025
• Claims and Objections Period: December 24, 2025 to January 22, 2026
• Special Campaign Days: January 3 to 8, and January 10 to 11, 2026
• Disposal of Claims and Objections: On or before February 2, 2026
• Final Electoral Roll Publication: February 10, 2026
The public has been requested to actively participate in the process, especially during the period for submitting claims and objections. For transparency, an appeal mechanism has been put in place. Any objection against a decision of the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) can be filed first before the District Magistrate, and further appeals can be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer as per the rules.
