The Election Commission of India has announced that the by‑election for the Nagaon Lok Sabha constituency in Assam will be held on 6 October.
The Election Commission of India (EC) issued a formal notification declaring that the by‑poll for the Nagaon Lok Sabha seat in Assam will be conducted on 6 October 2026. The announcement was made following the vacancy that arose in the constituency, prompting the EC to schedule the election in accordance with statutory timelines.
Polling will take place across all polling stations in the Nagaon district on the specified date, with the counting of votes slated for the subsequent days as per the commission's standard procedures. Security arrangements and logistical support are being coordinated by the state administration to ensure a smooth voting process.
Political parties have begun mobilising their cadres and announcing candidates ahead of the by‑election, signalling a competitive contest in a region that has historically witnessed close contests. The outcome will be closely watched as it may influence the balance of power in the Lok Sabha and reflect broader political trends in the Northeast.
