Awareness drives in factories to motivate workers to vote on June 1 

Ludhiana, April 27, 2024: A voter awareness campaign took place on Saturday in the premises of various factories to exhort the workers for promoting ethical voting in the Lok Sabha elections under the  Systematic Voters' Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP)  program. 

SVEEP teams of the Ludhiana administration urged the workers to make the best use of their vote to strengthen democracy. They told the workers that the administration was making elaborate arrangements for the voting on June 1 at all polling booths including sheds, chairs, fans, sweetened water, lemon water, queue management app and others so it was the duty of every voter to cast their vote compulsorily. They must also encourage others and make them visit the polling booths to cast their vote.

They said that the aim was to achieve the target of more than 70 per cent voter turnout during the Lok Sabha 2024 elections.
District election officer (DEO) cum deputy commissioner (DC), Sakshi Sawhney, said different activities and awareness camps are being organised to encourage voters. She said regular awareness camps were being organised across the district and voter registration camps are being held in various colleges/educational institutes to enroll debutant voters.

The eligible first-time voters are being apprised of the “Voter Helpline” mobile application and “National Voter Services Portal” (NVSP), which can be used for enrolling. The residents can also visit www.nvsp.in to register.

Reiterating the commitment of administration and police to ensure free, fair and transparent elections, DEO Sawhney also motivated the residents to vote without any fear and without coming under anyone’s influence.
