Dr Singh also informed that to bolster voter awareness and facilitate enrolment of voters, Special Camps were organised on 6th-7th and 27th – 28th November in all polling stations of Delhi. Along with these camps, various activities for voter awareness were organised by the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer of Delhi, across various institutions.
Since a large number of young citizens will be first-time voters, they were informed that Form-6 must be completed by all new voters, as well as those who have been excluded from the voting process.
