In the 2026 Assam assembly elections, the state recorded an impressive 85.9% voter turnout, surpassing all previous records. The turnout increase was most pronounced in central Assam, which, despite having fewer seats, demonstrated strong electoral momentum. Lower Assam contributed the highest numbers in terms of actual votes cast. Significant gains were noted in Muslim-majority districts, particularly in Sribhumi, Darrang, and Morigaon, which could play a crucial role in shaping coalition outcomes. However, regions such as Upper Assam and the hill districts saw only limited growth, with Hailakandi showing minimal change in turnout. This uneven distribution of voter engagement may influence the political landscape in the coming weeks.
