# 1983 Assam Legislative Assembly election

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. The number of constituencies was set as 126 by the recommendation of the Delimitation Commission of India. 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.
