The 2026 Assam Assembly elections witnessed a significant voter turnout of 85.27% by 5 PM, with many voters still casting their ballots after the deadline. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma described the election as a movement to uphold Assam's cultural values, noting that participation in some booths exceeded 95%. The Chief Electoral Officer, Anurag Goel, thanked citizens for their involvement, contributing to a successful polling process. While there were sporadic incidents of violence, the overall conduct was deemed peaceful. This election marks a pivotal moment following the 2023 revisions to electoral rolls and constituency delimitation. The BJP, in power since 2016, is contesting 90 seats, while the Congress, now allied with five parties, is contesting 99 seats. Other parties, including the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), are also participating in the elections, which will shape Assam's political landscape for the next five years.
