Vimukti Pothnal, in
collaboration with the health department, Pothnal Panchayat and
Utakanoor Gram Panchayat organized a Voter Awareness Campaign on
23rd of April, 2024.The primary objective of this initiative was to
enlighten and empower individuals regarding the significance of
voting and their pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of our
nation. In democracy, it is not simply enough to inform voters about
election dates. In order to help the electorates take an informed
decision, it is quintessential to sensitize them about the
importance of participating in the electoral process. Moreover,
voters need to be educated about the process and made aware of the
political parties, their manifestos, backgrounds of the contesting
candidates and armed with some other information to help them cast
an ‘enlightened’ vote. Vimukti staff along with village leaders have
stepped forward to spread the word about the importance of voting
and the right to vote. In this connection, a Voters’ Awareness Week
was organized by vimukti Pothnal. The awareness drive about the
right to vote was successfully conducted under the guidance of the
Vimukti at Pothnal town as well as at targeted villages. The
unorganized youths and community leaders actively participated in
the campaign. Even the first-time voters were also a part of the
drive; they spread awareness about the right to vote and also the
importance of this right.
The Staff motivated the youths to vote and cast their vote
righteously, Mass Awareness; with an aim to promote democratic
values, the campaign leverages both online and offline channels to
make voters aware of the value of their invaluable vote and how each
vote can strengthen democracy. An oath taken at the public places
made voters of their value to the voting. The processions were
organized in major thoroughfares of the villages and people were
asked not to miss the opportunity of voting to elect an able leader.
