The Assam State Election Commission (ASEC) has commenced the process of preparing electoral rolls for the forthcoming general elections to the Mising Autonomous Council (MAC), with the final voters’ list set to be published on August 17.
In a notification issued on June 30, the Commission instructed the respective District Commissioners to prepare and publish the electoral rolls in accordance with the provisions of the Mising Autonomous Council (Election) Rules, 2005. The exercise will be based on the Assembly Electoral Roll published by the Election Commission of India on February 10, 2026, with January 1, 2026, designated as the qualifying date for voter eligibility.
Under the process, Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) will prepare constituency-wise draft electoral rolls by segregating relevant portions of the Assembly electoral roll according to polling stations falling within the newly delimited MAC constituencies. The exercise will also include the receipt and disposal of claims, objections and correction requests before the publication of the final electoral rolls.
As per the schedule announced by the Commission, preliminary work will be carried out from June 30 to July 5, followed by data entry and constituency mapping between July 6 and July 12. The preparation of electoral rolls will take place from July 13 to July 21, while the draft electoral roll will be published on July 22.
The last date for submitting claims and objections has been fixed as August 6. The Commission has directed that all such applications be disposed of by August 13, after which the final electoral roll will be published on August 17.
The ASEC also stated that Electoral Registration Officers and Assistant Electoral Registration Officers for all Mising Autonomous Council constituencies had already been appointed through a separate order issued on June 29.
The electoral roll preparation exercise follows the delimitation of the Mising Autonomous Council constituencies, which was notified by the Department of Tribal Affairs (Plain), Government of Assam, in January 2025.
