The 1962 Assam Legislative Assembly election was a significant political event held in Assam, India, on March 24, 1962. Conducted under the supervision of the Election Commission of India, this election was the first after the reorganization of states and the introduction of the new electoral processes post-independence. The election aimed to fill 126 seats in the Assam Legislative Assembly, with voters electing representatives from various political parties, including the Indian National Congress, which sought to maintain its dominance in the region. The election results solidified the Congress's hold, reflecting the political dynamics and regional aspirations of the time, while also setting the stage for future electoral contests in Assam.
