India, Dec. 30 -- Assam's draft electoral roll has registered a 1.35% increase in the number of voters over the previous electoral roll published in January 2025, the state's chief electoral officer (CEC) said in a statement on Tuesday.

The statement comes against the backdrop of the election watchdog marking 1.06 million names for deletion from Assam's electoral roll following a special revision (SR) exercise that was carried out between November and December this year.

The poll panel released the integrated draft electoral roll for the state on December 27, following a house-to-house (H2H) verification drive conducted by block-level officers (BLOs) across the state's 126 assembly constituencies from November 22 to December 20.
