The ECI said Assam has a total of 25.11 million voters, excluding 93,021 D-voters (doubtful voters with suspicions about their citizenship).Unlike SIR, the exercise in Assam did not require physical verification of documents.

Firstly, they must hold citizenship of India," the EC statement said. "Secondly, they must meet the minimum age requirement...Thirdly, the person must be an ordinary resident of the constituency where they seek registration...Finally, the individual must not be legally barred from voting, meaning they must not be disqualified under any law and must not be declared to be of unsound mind."
