The Assam Assembly elections held on April 9, 2026, witnessed a historic voter turnout of 85.38%, the highest since the state began polling in 1951. Counting for the 126 constituencies will take place on May 4, starting at 8 AM. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has deployed approximately 8,500 officials to oversee the counting process at 40 counting centres across 35 districts. Key political figures, including Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Leader of Opposition Debabrata Saikia, and Assembly Speaker Biswajit Daimary, will learn their electoral fate as votes are tallied. Despite the high turnout, polling day was marred by violence, with 30 people injured and 7 arrests made due to disputes related to the elections. To check results, voters can visit the ECI's official website or use the ECINET app, which provides live updates as counting progresses. The counting process will begin with postal ballots, followed by votes from Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), with initial trends expected by late morning.
