Gyanesh Kumar speaks at the second regional conference on 'Electoral Literacy Clubs (ELC 2.0) and ECINET’ in Lucknow that focuses on strengthening electoral literacy and democratic awareness among young citizens through educational institutions
Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar emphasized on Monday that India's elections are conducted transparently, with concurrent audits by political parties, candidates or their representatives at every stage. Addressing students and teachers from across Uttar Pradesh at a regional conference, Kumar stressed the importance of electoral literacy and democratic awareness among young citizens.
He highlighted the role of Electoral Literacy Clubs (ELCs) in educating the youth about India's electoral system, democratic values, and the processes of registration, polling, and counting. Kumar underscored the significance of the ELC 2.0 initiative, which aims to empower young voters to participate meaningfully in the democratic process, given the vast educational infrastructure in the country.
The conference, titled "Electoral Literacy Clubs (ELC 2.0) and ECINET," is part of a broader effort to strengthen electoral literacy and democratic awareness among students and young voters in Uttar Pradesh, where assembly elections are scheduled to take place soon.
