The EC in December last year announced the delimitation exercise of assembly and parliamentary constituencies in Assam using the 2001 census data
The full team of the Election Commission's leadership body is in Assam to check the ground reality and expectations of stakeholders, including political parties and civil society groups, on the ongoing delimitation exercise. The exercise had been stuck for 14 years. The last delimitation in Assam was done in 1976.
The Election Commission (EC) team will meet the stakeholders tomorrow.
Unlike in other states where delimitation of assembly and parliamentary constituencies are done by the Delimitation Commission, the EC is entrusted with the responsibility in Assam.
Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar, and commissioners Anup Chandra Pandey and Arun Goel are in Assam till March 28.
