The final roll comprises 1,08,654 male voters, 97,653 female voters and seven third-gender electors. Officials stated that the draft roll had included 2,754 men, 1,555 women and one third-gender voter whose names were subsequently deleted during the revision process.
Across Assam, the final voter list for poll-bound constituencies records 2,49,58,139 electors, reflecting an overall decline of 0.97 per cent from the draft rolls.
