GUWAHATI: The State Election Commission of Assam has set a new schedule to update and publish the electoral roll for the RHAC elections. This is after the Election Commission of India published a new electoral roll for the related Legislative Assembly areas with a date of eligibility as 01/01/2025.
According to the schedule, the Draft Electoral Roll will be published on 07/02/2025. The last date for filing claims and objections will be 21/02/2025, with the last date for their disposal set for 28/02/2025. The final Electoral Roll will be published on 02/03/2025.
The Electoral Roll will be updated in accordance with Rule 16 of the Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council (Election) Rules, 2005, and the Government order No. E-582 139/176 dated 25/01/2025.
The District Election Officers, Returning Officers, Electoral Registration Officers, and Assistant Electoral Registration Officers for the RHAC will stay the same as they were during the last electoral roll revision in 2024.
In urgent cases, District Commissioners can appoint or change Electoral Registration Officers or Assistant Electoral Registration Officers to update the Electoral Roll, but the State Election Commissioner must approve it later.
