Significant Changes in Mirzapur's Election Infrastructure

Mirzapur | November 9, 2026 – Major changes have been made to the electoral framework for the upcoming Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh's Mirzapur district. Following the new delimitation proposal approved by the Election Commission of India, there has been a decrease in the total number of polling stations and polling booths.

This revision, undertaken in anticipation of the 2027 Assembly elections, shows a decline in numbers compared to the general elections of 2022 and 2024. According to a release issued by Vinod Kumar Singh, Additional District Magistrate (Finance and Revenue) and Deputy District Election Officer, the total number of polling stations in Mirzapur district has reduced from 1344 to 1336. Similarly, the total number of polling booths has decreased from 2258 to 2237. This decision aligns with the gazette notification issued by the Chief Election Commissioner of India on November 4.

Changes by Assembly Constituency

Under the newly approved delimitation proposal, the number of polling stations has been reduced in three of the district's Assembly constituencies: Mirzapur, Marihan, and Chunar. The Chhanbey and Majhawa Assembly constituencies have seen specific adjustments in their polling booths.

Specifically, the Chhanbey Assembly constituency has witnessed an increase of one polling booth, while the Majhawa Assembly constituency has seen a reduction of ten polling booths. However, the number of polling stations in these two constituencies remains unchanged. Details indicate that the Chunar Assembly constituency will now have 424 polling booths and 276 polling stations. The Marihan Assembly constituency is assigned 443 polling booths and 299 polling stations. For the Mirzapur Assembly constituency, 463 polling booths and 194 polling stations have been approved.

Aiming for a Streamlined Voting Process

The Election Department has clarified that these changes are based on new proposals approved by the Commission. The primary objective is to further streamline and enhance the efficiency of the voting process during the upcoming Assembly elections.

These changes have been formally communicated to the officials of the concerned Assembly constituencies and publicly announced to the general public, ensuring all relevant parties are aware of the revised arrangements.
