Special Meeting Held for Electoral Roll Revision

A significant meeting was convened in Farrukhabad regarding the special summary revision of photo-equipped electoral rolls and the rationalization of polling stations. Presided over by District Magistrate Dr. Ankur Lathar, the meeting issued detailed guidelines for the upcoming revision process.

Focus on Youth Enrollment

The administration's primary focus is to ensure that no eligible citizen, especially youth who have completed 18 years of age, is left out from registering on the voter list. It was informed during the meeting that the district currently has a total of 1642 polling stations across its four assembly constituencies.

Polling Station Reorganization

Based on prescribed standards, a proposal has been sent to the Chief Electoral Officer to reorganize and reduce the number of polling stations to 1605. This measure aims to make the polling stations more organized and effective.

Revision Timeline and Process

Under the electoral roll revision process, the integrated draft voter list will be published on November 17, 2026. Following this, claims and objections from voters will be accepted until December 16, 2026. The disposal of received objections and claims will be ensured by December 28, 2026. Finally, the final voter list will be published on January 4, 2027.

Special Campaign for Voter Registration

As part of a special campaign, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will be present at polling stations on November 21, 22, 28, and 29, 2026, to accept applications for adding new names, deletions, or modifications. The District Magistrate particularly emphasized that no eligible citizen should be left out from registering their name on the electoral roll.

Ensuring Widespread Public Participation

To ensure widespread public participation in this campaign, instructions have been given to involve Gram Pradhans, Corporators, Anganwadi workers, and Self-Help Groups. A match with the lists of urban and rural bodies will be conducted to identify missed voters. Instructions have also been given to ensure sufficient availability of Form-6 (for adding names), Form-7 (for deletions), and Form-8 (for corrections) for applicants.

Call for Political Party Cooperation

Representatives of various political parties and officials from the Election Department were present at the meeting. The administration has appealed to the booth-level agents of all political parties for active cooperation in this important campaign to further strengthen the democratic process. New voters will be required to attach a photograph, mobile number, and proof of address along with their application to register their names.
