Guwahati, Dec 27: The draft electoral roll for Kamrup Metropolitan district, including photographs of voters, has been published, District Commissioner Sumit Sattawan announced on Saturday.
Addressing a press conference at the DC office conference hall, Sattawan said voters can submit claims and objections from December 27, 2025, to January 22, 2026. To facilitate the process, special camps will be organised on January 3, 4, 10 and 11, during which electors can raise objections, file claims or seek corrections.
Voters have been urged to visit their respective polling stations to verify their names in the draft roll. In cases where an eligible voter’s name is missing, or where there are objections related to inclusion, correction of personal details or transfer of names, the prescribed Forms 6, 6A, 7 and 8 may be submitted within the stipulated period.
The District Commissioner said Indian citizens who will attain the age of 18 years on April 1, July 1 or October 1, 2026, can submit advance applications for inclusion of their names using Form 6.
Claims and objections can also be filed online through the Voters.eci.gov.in portal and the Voter Helpline App, making the process more accessible.
Sharing key statistics, Sattawan said Kamrup Metropolitan recorded a 1.63 per cent increase in voters compared to last year. To enhance voter convenience, 105 new polling stations have been added, taking the total number of polling stations in the district to 1,218.
Referring to the recently concluded house-to-house verification drive under the Special Revision Programme, he said Booth Level Officers completed voter verification across the district. The exercise identified 22,163 deceased voters and 21,154 voters who had shifted their residence, and the records have been updated accordingly.
Voters can obtain Forms 6 and 7 through the Voter Helpline App or from their respective Booth Level Officers, and are advised to verify their details on the Voters.eci.gov.in website.
The final electoral roll will be published on February 10, the District Commissioner said.
