NATIONAL VOTER`S DAY

The National Voters’ Day (NVD) is celebrated across the country to mark the foundation day of Election Commission of India, the autonomous constitutional authority responsible for conducting elections. The Manmohan Singh government initiated this in 2011.

National Voters' Day is celebrated every year with a theme. In 2019, the theme was "No voter to be left behind". On this day, the government holds campaigns to encourage voters (particularly young voters) to participate in the political process. National Awards are given for excellence and innovation in election processes. These awards recognise the contribution of the election machinery, government departments, media and PSUs.
