Deputy Commissioner and Returning Officer for Mysuru Lok Sabha constituency K.V. Rajendra on Monday called upon the people to make the Lok Sabha elections scheduled on April 26 in Mysuru a success by casting their votes in large numbers, and thereby celebrating the festival of democracy by not missing to exercise their franchise.
Elections are like a festival of democracy. Everyone has to vote for the right candidate without seeing his or her caste, creed, and religion. The voters should not be influenced by anybody. The educated voters must encourage their families and others in their neighborhood to cast their vote. They must encourage the voters to ethical voting, Mr. Rajendra said while addressing a gathering.
Speaking after inaugurating “Choonavana Habba” or Election Habba-2024 ahead of the elections in Mysuru on April 26, organised as part of SVEEP by the District Committee, at Kalamandira, he said a lot of activities were being held in the constituency and many are also being planned to encourage voters to cast their vote without giving it a miss. The overall aim is to increase voting percentage this election as the percentage of voting in the last Lok Sabha polls was 70 percent and 75 percent polling was recorded in last year’s assembly elections. There has been good response to the SVEEP drives from the public, he added.
