Ludhiana: The district administration is going to organise awareness camps in all constituencies where people will be educated about electronic voting machines (EVMs)/ VVPAT.

As per the orders issued by the district administration on Tuesday, the ‘Sunday Sveep’ activity would be organised at all constituencies of the district on April 7.

Jagraon additional deputy commissioner Neeru Katyal Gupta has asked all nodal officers to ensure maximum participation of voters so that polling percentage is increased.

The ADC said the activity would be organised at 8-10 locations in each constituency wherein residents would be educated about becoming responsible voters, EVMs and VVPAT machines. This activity would be organised in all malls, parks/ public places etc. She said VVPAT machines would be installed along with all the EVMs.

Gupta directed all the nodal officers to complete the awareness campaign regarding VVPAT machines at all polling stations by March 31, 2019, so that after that, further SVEEP activities can be organised in the district. She directed the nodal officers to emphasise more in areas where polling percentage was low during the previous elections.
