Guwahati, March 30: In a move to ensure inclusive electoral participation, the Kamrup District Administration has announced home voting facilities for eligible absentee voters across six Legislative Assembly Constituencies in the district.
The initiative is aimed at enabling persons who are unable to visit polling stations due to age or physical limitations to exercise their democratic right from the comfort of their homes.
According to officials, the home voting process will be conducted over three days — from March 30 to April 1, 2026. Specially designated polling teams will visit the registered addresses of eligible voters, following a pre-scheduled plan, to facilitate the voting process at their doorsteps.
The District Commissioner has appealed to all eligible voters to remain present at their registered addresses on their assigned dates and extend full cooperation to polling officials to ensure smooth and efficient execution of the process.
The facility is specifically available to two categories of voters:
Persons with disabilities (PwDs) who are unable to travel to polling stations
Senior citizens aged 85 years and above
Both groups fall under the classification of absentee voters as defined by the Election Commission of India, which provides alternative voting arrangements under its inclusive electoral framework.
Officials stated that the initiative reflects a continued effort to make the electoral process more accessible and participatory, ensuring that no eligible voter is left out due to mobility or health-related challenges.
With this measure, the district administration aims to strengthen voter inclusion and uphold the democratic principle of universal participation in the ongoing election process.
