Systematic Voter Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) programme needs to be effectively implemented to ensure that there is near universal voting and a free and fair elections, Zilla Panchayat Chief Executive Officer and District SVEEP nodal officer Rahul Shinde said in Belagavi on Thursday.
“Officers in charge of the voter education programme should not only implement existing programmes properly but also come up with innovative ideas to motivate more people to vote without fear or favour,” he said.
“These programmes and ideas should be focussed on increasing the percentage of voting in the district and create awareness among voters about ethical voting,” the CEO said.
