Guwahati, 21 July (HS): The Assam State Election Commission (SEC) has revised the schedule for the preparation and publication of electoral rolls for the Mising Autonomous Council Election, 2026, in view of the prevailing flood situation across the state.

According to a notification issued on Tuesday, the Commission said the electoral roll preparation process could not be carried out as per the schedule announced on June 30, 2026, due to widespread flooding in Assam. As a result, the SEC has exercised its powers under Rule 16 of the Mising Autonomous Council (Election) Rules, 2005, to modify the election roll timeline.

Under the revised schedule, the draft electoral rolls will be published on July 29, 2026. The last date for filing claims and objections has been fixed as August 13, while all claims and objections will be disposed of by August 20. The final electoral rolls will be published on August 24, 2026.

The Commission has clarified that all other terms and conditions contained in its earlier notification dated June 30, 2026, will remain unchanged. The notification was issued by Assam State Election Commissioner Ranjan Sharma.---------------
