Election Commission of India (ECI) is launching a ‘Special Drive to enrol left out electors, with a special focus on first time electors from 1st July, 2017, so as to move in the direction of Commission’s motto that NO VOTER TO BE LEFT BEHIND.
In order to reach out to maximum eligible voters, the ECI is collaborating with Facebook to launch first Nationwide Voter Registration Reminder on 1st July, 2017. With over 180 million people in India on Facebook, the Register Now button is designed to encourage Indian citizens to register themselves with the Election Commission of India. On 1st July, a notification of the Voter Registration Reminder will be sent to people on Facebook in India who are eligible to vote. The reminder will be sent out in 13 Indian languages - English, Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Punjabi, Bengali, Urdu, Assamese, Marathi and Oriya.
This is the first time Facebook`s voter registration reminder has been rolled out across India. In 2016 and 2017, Chief Electoral Officers made such efforts at state level during their respective state elections.
By clicking on the Register Now button on Facebook from 1st July 2017, people will be directed to the National Voters’ Services Portal (www.nvsp.in) which will guide them through the registration process.
