NTR District Collector S. Dilli Rao has said the goal is to reach at least 85% polling in the forthcoming elections in 2024 and that the officials are working on creating awareness among the people on the importance of voting.
Flagging off a rally as part of the ‘Systematic Voters Education and Electoral Participation’ (SWEEP) in Vijayawada on December 21 (Thursday), Mr. Dilli Rao said that the SWEEP was launched by the Election Commission of India (ECI) in 2011 after which the ensuing elections saw higher participation of voters.
The programme was organised by the district administration in collaboration with the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC).
