Vimukti organized an innovative
campaign in Sunkanoor on Saturday when Vimukti women group visited
each home and appealed the occupants to exercise their franchise
without fail. Amidst hot weather women along with Anganwadi, ASHA
workers and the school teachers, visited families and appealed them
to compulsory cast their votes in the coming assembly elections.
Women walked in the villages and distributed pamphlets among people
to create awareness.
It is important for voter turnout that local and state voting
policies and procedures are public knowledge. Often, voters do not
know where, when and how to vote. Public awareness campaigns can
encourage voter participation and make important information
ubiquitous, thereby reducing barriers at the ballot box. Thus
Vimukti spread the public awareness in the villages of our targeted
area.
