CM Registered at Booth 223 in Gorakhpur City
Yogi Adityanath is registered as a voter at booth number 223. The booth is located at the Girls Primary School polling station near the Jhulelal Temple in the Gorakhpur City Assembly constituency. His participation showed that elected leaders must also maintain updated voter records.
Furthermore, his involvement promoted awareness among voters who often delay this process. The CM’s example encourages people to check their entries before election season begins. The SIR process allows voters to add names, correct details, or shift constituencies without long procedures.
Nationwide SIR Drive Covers 12 States and UTs
The Special Intensive Revision began on October 28, 2025, and will continue until February 7, 2026. The Election Commission launched this drive across 12 states and union territories, including Uttar Pradesh. The updated list aims to enhance accuracy and transparency. Moreover, the campaign ensures that voters face fewer issues during elections.
As part of the process, Booth Level Officers are visiting homes and public spaces. They issue forms to citizens so they can update their information. This step helps detect duplicate entries, remove deceased voters, and include first-time voters. It also protects the sanctity of the election process.
During the Chief Minister’s revision, officials such as District Magistrate Deepak Meena and Tehsildar Sadar Gyan Pratap Singh were present. Their presence underlined the administrative importance of the SIR drive.
Drive Ensures Voting Rights Under Article 326
The SIR campaign supports voting rights under Article 326 of the Constitution, which enables every adult citizen to vote. Therefore, an accurate voter list is vital for fair elections. Moreover, updated records reduce confusion during polling and build trust in the democratic system.
The Chief Minister stressed that maintaining an accurate voter list is a shared responsibility. It is not just an administrative task. Every citizen must ensure that their voter details stay current. Such attention helps strengthen democracy by boosting awareness and public participation.
Additionally, the involvement of local leaders and administrative heads adds credibility to the nationwide drive. Their participation shows that voter list revision is essential for all levels of governance.
Officials Present During the Update in Gorakhpur
Several senior officials witnessed the Chief Minister’s voter list revision. District Magistrate Deepak Meena, Tehsildar Gyan Pratap Singh, BJP Mahanagar Coordinator Rajesh Gupta, and Municipal Corporation Board Vice Chairman Pawan Tripathi attended the event. GDA Board Member Durgesh Bajaj was also present.
Their presence highlighted the collaborative effort needed to carry out such a massive revision drive. Moreover, the SIR campaign will continue in all participating states until early 2026. Citizens are urged to update voter records online and offline to ensure seamless polling during elections.
