Chandigarh Launches Special Voter Enrolment Drive Targeting Young and Left-Out Voters
Chandigarh's electorate has decreased by over 30% since 2024, prompting the Union Territory administration to launch a special voter enrolment drive targeting eligible citizens, especially young and first-time voters. The drive includes house-to-house visits by Booth Level Officers, special camps at polling stations on October 10 and 11, and outreach through Electoral Literacy Clubs in educational institutions. The Election Commission has directed similar efforts to update electoral rolls, focusing on left-out voters, students, residents of new areas, and persons needing assistance.
