Gonda: Gonda District Magistrate and District Election Officer Priyanka Niranjan inspected five polling stations in Sadar and Colonelganj tehsils as part of the Continuous Revision of Electoral Rolls-2026 programme.
The special campaign aims to ensure that all eligible citizens, particularly young people eligible to vote for the first time, are registered in the electoral rolls and are not left out of the democratic process.
During the inspection, Niranjan visited the polling station at PM Shri Composite School in Haripur, under Sadar tehsil. She also inspected four polling stations established at the Upper Primary School in Balpur First, under Colonelganj tehsil.
The district administration is focusing on identifying eligible citizens whose names are yet to be included in the electoral rolls. Special emphasis is being placed on raising awareness among young and first-time voters about the importance of registration and participation in elections.
The inspection was aimed at reviewing the arrangements at the polling stations and monitoring the progress of electoral roll revision activities. The district election authorities are working to ensure that eligible citizens have adequate opportunities to register their names in the voter list.
An accurate, updated and inclusive electoral roll is essential for ensuring free, fair and participatory elections. The special campaign is intended to strengthen public participation in the electoral process by facilitating voter registration and improving the implementation of revision-related activities.
Officials accompanying the District Magistrate during the inspection included Sadar Tehsildar Manish Kumar, Gonda Naib Tehsildar Jaishankar Singh and Colonelganj-Haldharmau Naib Tehsildar Atul Pal, along with other officials.
The administration reiterated its focus on ensuring that no eligible citizen is deprived of the opportunity to register as a voter, with particular attention to young people preparing to exercise their franchise for the first time.
