Krishnamurthy said through extensive engagement initiatives, including Chunav Pathshalas (11,458), Electoral Literacy Clubs (Schools -1,003 and Colleges-119) and Voter Awareness Forums (192), have been decisive in mobilising young citizens to register themselves for the voter list.
SVEEP activities have been conducted on a large scale, encompassing a diverse range of initiatives such as street plays, drawing competitions, essay writing competitions, slogan contests, painting competitions, and voter awareness rallies across various districts. These activities have not only fostered awareness but have also instilled a sense of responsibility and participation among young voters, the Office of the CEO said.
“Election awareness campaign was undertaken exclusively for the mass awareness of the self-help group women voters in the various parts of the city. Through this awareness campaign, the women voters were educated and motivated to participate in large numbers in the voting process for the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections in Delhi,” it said.
Voting in the seven parliamentary seats in Lok Sabha is scheduled to take place on May 25.
