Citizens were fervently encouraged to exercise their voting rights during these events.
The administration, in collaboration with various segments of society, is spearheading numerous public awareness campaigns to galvanize citizen engagement in the electoral process. A concerted effort has been directed towards amplifying voter awareness under the sweep program, particularly targeting rural areas to bolster voter turnout. Notably, mass awareness endeavours have been prioritized within the Shirur Constituency.
Participants disseminated crucial information regarding the voting process and election procedures to tribal communities through informative bulletin boards, exemplified by messages such as ‘Voting of youth – contribution to nation building’ and ‘Let’s be conscious citizens – Vote with pride’.
