The highest polling in terms of Assembly segments took place in Dhing (91.42) and lowest was in Dhemaji (70.16).

The final polling was found very good and just .05 percent less than in 2014. In fact, in two of the five constituencies, it was more.  They are Tezpur and Koliabor.  There is however nearly three percent dip in Lakhimpur and two percent in Dibrugarh. it is suspected that AGP supporters sat out at home and did not take part in the voting as a protest against the CAB  and the BJP-AGP alliance.
