PATNA: From meting out the same polling sales space to all members of a family to sending Jeevika employees to individual households, the Election Commission of India (ECI) and officials of the district administration are leaving no stone unturned to inspire other folks to forged their votes all through the Lok Sabha (LS) elections.
The moderate turnout of voters in the state all through the ultimate LS polls in 2014 used to be 56.28% which used to be virtually 10% lower than the national moderate. Even when it comes to men and women voters, Bihar’s moderate used to be lower than the national. However, the typical turnout in 2014 used to be higher than what it used to be all through the 2009 LS elections (44.27%).
Interestingly, at a time when several states across the country witnessed the craze of lesser collection of girls voters than males, in Bihar, more girls forged their votes all through the ultimate LS polls. The turnout of girls voters used to be 1.86% higher than that of men.
According to state further chief electoral officer Sanjay Singh, an enormous marketing campaign is being carried out to encourage other folks to forged votes.
“Over 13 lakh other folks were advised about using electronic balloting machines and voter-verified paper audit trails in the state up to now. Two state icons — Bollywood actor Pankaj Tripathi and mountaineer Santosh Yadav — have also been roped in for this goal,” mentioned Singh.
Besides, special attention is being given to woo girls voters. Patna district electoral officer-cum-district magistrate Kumar Ravi advised TOI, “All- woman cubicles are being arrange in every constituency. Model literacy clubs are also being shaped in all instructional institutes to encourage younger voters.”
Jeevika employees are also visiting different households and inspiring other folks to workout their franchise.
“We have shaped motion teams and attempted to allot the same sales space to the entire members of the same family so that they are able to forged their votes together,” mentioned Gaya district electoral officer-cum-district magistrate Abhishek Singh.
