AJP alleges migrant voters from Bihar added to Assam electoral rolls
Assam Jatiya Parishad accuses the BJP of manipulating voter lists. They claim names of voters from Bihar are being added while genuine Assamese voters are removed. This alleged tactic aims to influence Assam's political future. The party is closely monitoring the voter list revision process and urges public vigilance. This situation raises concerns about the integrity of upcoming elections.
Regional party the Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) alleged that names of migrant and unfamiliar voters from Bihar are being included in Assam's voter lists.
AJP in statement stated, "Assam is not Bihar. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma must understand that just as the BJP captured power in Bihar by manipulating voter lists, the same cannot be done in Assam. The political future of Assam is determined by its indigenous people. No conspiracy to decide the political future of indigenous Assamese by bringing hired outsiders from Bihar will ever be accepted by the indigenous people of Assam. Indigenous Assamese are already facing an existential crisis. For the sake of capturing power, the BJP's attempt to import hired voters from Bihar to shape Assam's political future will never be accepted.”
The regional political party expressed grave concern over the Special Revision (SR) of electoral rolls, alleging that names of migrant and unfamiliar voters from Bihar are being included in Assam's voter lists.
The party stated that it is keeping a close watch on the Special Revision process and urged the public to remain vigilant as well. AJP alleged that the BJP government and party are attempting to regain power in Assam through such manipulative tactics.
AJP President Lurinjyoti Gogoi and General Secretary Jagadish Bhuyan stated that recent draft electoral rolls published in Assam have revealed disturbing instances where names of unfamiliar individuals have been added using the addresses of local residents. In many cases, the surnames of these individuals clearly indicate Bihar origin, yet the local residents whose addresses were used claim that they do not recognise these individuals at all. Such incidents have been reported from Guwahati and several other places across Assam. At the same time, information has emerged that names of genuine, permanent voters have been deleted from the rolls in multiple locations.
The AJP leaders pointed out that Rahul Gandhi had earlier alleged similar methods of “vote theft” in states such as Karnataka, Maharashtra, Haryana, and Bihar. According to Gogoi and Bhuyan, comparable irregularities are now being detected in Assam during the Special Revision of voter lists. They warned that such a situation would not be allowed under any circumstances and alleged that the BJP, having captured power in those states through similar means, is now attempting to replicate the same strategy in Assam. Unable to foresee forming a government through legitimate means and genuine public support, the BJP has resorted to this unlawful conspiracy.
Accusing the BJP of attempting to politically weaken indigenous Assamese through the ongoing Special Revision process, Gogoi and Bhuyan said that there are two mechanisms being used to politically eliminate indigenous people. The first is the voter list revision itself—by strategically deleting the names of indigenous voters who are unlikely to support the BJP and simultaneously including names of unfamiliar individuals from outside the state to inflate the BJP's vote share. The second mechanism is constituency delimitation. Through delimitation, constituencies dominated by indigenous communities such as Ahom, Moran, Motok, Koch, Kachari, Chutia and others have been deliberately reduced.
They further alleged that the delimitation exercise was implemented under the direction of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma through Minister Ashok Singhal. Now, the political responsibility of the Special Revision of voter lists has also been handed over to Ashok Singhal.
“The question is—will Ashok Singhal decide the political future of indigenous Assamese people?” the leaders asked.
Reacting to the Chief Minister's statement that there has been no manipulation in the Special Revision and that objections can still be filed for corrections, Gogoi and Bhuyan said that evidence of manipulation has already come into the public domain.
They further clarified that, as per Rule 21 of the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, it is the duty of the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) and Assistant Electoral Registration Officer (AERO) to suo motu delete the names of ineligible voters, including ineligible North Indian entrants. Ordinary voters have no special responsibility in this regard. Hence, they termed the Chief Minister's statement as evasive and suspicious, stating that instead of shifting responsibility onto the public, the CM should have urged the Election officers to discharge their statutory duties.
On December 27 last year the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced that it concluded the House-to-House (H2H) verification phase of the Special Revision (SR) in Assam. The total electors are 2,52,02,775.
Chief Electoral Officer, Assam Anurag Goel had said, "The draft roll reflects 2,52,01624 electorates representing a 1.35 percent increase from the previous final roll published in January 2025," he said adding that Assam has more female voters than male with the number of female voters rising to 1,26,28,662."
He said that there are 2,45,084 young voters already registered with the integrated draft rolls. The CEO, however, said that the number of young voters (18 to 19 years) is likely to increase.
"During the house-to-house survey by our Booth Level Officers we recorded 6,27,000 young voters. However, inclusion of their names in the final electoral rolls is subject to their application. They have to apply for inclusion using Form 6," he said.
"Now that the integrated draft roll is published, the period for filing claims and objections will be from December 27 to January 22, 2026," Goel said adding that the final electoral roll will be published on February 10, 2026.
The CEO had said assembly elections are expected to be announced and the dates of the elections are likely to be announced by the end of February of the first half of March next year.
There are around 93, 021 Doubtful voters. Doubtful voters excluded the total number of electors stood at 2,51,09,754.
Office of Chief Electoral officer Assam in a statement had stated that 61,03,103 households across the state were visited and there was 100 percent coverage. The number of deceased in the voter list stood at 4,78,992 names. Around 5,23,680 electors found to have moved from their registered locations.
The statement had stated it found 53,619 demographically similar entries identified for correction. The successful completion of the H2H phase involved a massive administrative machinery, including 35 District Election Officers (DEOs), 126 Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) and 1,260 AEROs, over 29656 Booth Level Officers (BLOs) and 2578 BLO Supervisors besides significant participation from political parties, with 61,533 Booth Level Agents.
The SR of electoral roll started on November 22. The Special Revision, ordered by the Election Commission of India (ECI) under Section 21 of the Representation of the People's Act 1950 in election-bound Assam, with January 1, 2026, as the qualifying date.
In poll-bound states, including West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, the exercise Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is being carried out. In Assam SIR was deferred due to incomplete National Register of Citizens.
