About this data

Source: Election Commission of India, statistical reports for the 1985 Assam assembly election (detailed results, list of winners, list of parties). Vote shares are of valid votes, excluding NOTA, as ECI reports them. Turnout here is votes counted (including NOTA) divided by electors, so it runs slightly below ECI's official figure, which also counts rejected votes.

Candidates of the Asom Gana Parishad, formed after the Assam Accord, are listed as independents.

ECI's report lists the biggest group of winners as independents: candidates of parties that were not recognised then are recorded as independents.

Map boundaries are approximate and for illustration.
