Elections to the Assam Legislative Assembly were held in February 1983 to elect members of 114 constituencies in Assam, India. The Indian National Congress won the popular vote and a majority of seats and Hiteswar Saikia was appointed as the Chief Minister of Assam.[1][2] The number of constituencies was set as 126 by the recommendation of the Delimitation Commission of India.[3] The election had registered only 32% voting due to the boycott calls and threat of violence amidst the height of Assam agitation, and hence didn't have a popular support.
