SIR Campaign Phase 2: 2.83 Lakh Gorakhpur Voters Face Deletion Over Missing Documents

• The second phase of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) campaign in Gorakhpur targets voters not mapped from the 2003 list.
• Approximately 2.83 lakh voters have received notices and are called for hearings to verify their eligibility.
• Voters must submit necessary documents; failure to do so will result in their names being removed from the voter list.
• The first phase of SIR saw 6.45 lakh names deleted due to absence, shifting, or being deceased.
• Technical issues in some constituencies led to offline document acceptance, and a second hearing opportunity will be provided for absentees.

Why It Matters: Gorakhpur's SIR campaign enters phase 2, potentially deleting 2.83 lakh names if documents aren't provided.
