Answer: In democracy, it is not simply enough to inform voters about election dates. In order to help the electorates take an informed decision, it is quintessential to sensitise them about the importance of participating in the electoral process. Moreover, voters need to be educated about the process and made aware of the political parties, their manifestos, backgrounds of the contesting candidates and armed with several other information to help them cast an ‘enlightened’ vote.
Vote for India Campaign
Another significant development in the domain of voters’ awareness creation has been the launch of Vote for India campaign. This programme is a brainchild of a voluntary organization – Mass for Awareness. With an aim to promote democratic values, the campaign leverages both online and offline channels to make voters aware of the value of their invaluable vote and how each vote can strengthen democracy.
