What is National Voters' Day?
National Voters’ Day is observed across India on January 25 every year to encourage youths to take part in the electoral process. It was first observed in 2011 after the Cabinet, under the leadership of former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, approved it.
“In order to effectively deal with this problem, the Election Commission has decided to take up a vigorous exercise to identify all eligible voters attaining the age of 18 years as of January 1 every year in each of the 8.5 lakh polling stations across the country,” said then Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni.
