Shape-Shifting Politics & Seats Of Assam

Assam’s upcoming assembly election will be the first in recent memory to be held in a single phase, for an electorate of 2.5cr people. While delimitation, carried out in 2022-2023, by ECI, retained legislature size at 126 seats, the constituency boundaries were redrawn, and so, it is a newish electoral landscape. The exercise was also criticised by some, for using the 2001 Census as basis for population, instead of 2011 Census.
