Supreme Court Orders Rajasthan SEC to Reconsider Voter Awareness Campaign Permission
The Supreme Court set aside the Rajasthan State Election Commission's order denying permission to a civil society group to conduct voter awareness campaigns during local body elections. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, directed the commission to reconsider the request within 48 hours, emphasizing that voter awareness initiatives should be encouraged and that the commission cannot monopolize such activities. The campaign, led by activists Aruna Roy and Nikhil Dey, aims to educate voters on democratic rights and electoral choices amid ongoing elections covering multiple local bodies.
