The Election Commission of India has initiated an extensive campaign featuring live demonstrations of electronic voting machines (EVMs) across Bengal to increase voter awareness, starting with Kolkata on Tuesday.
The initiative aims to educate voters, particularly first-timers, about the operation of EVMs and their crucial role in the poll process.
An EVM will be stationed at every sub-divisional office and district headquarters for live demonstrations.
Additionally, the commission will deploy one demo van equipped with an EVM in each of the 294 Assembly constituencies in a bid to reach out to remote areas where voter awareness might be limited.
The EVMs will be on display at offices of the sub-divisional officer sub-divisions and the district magistrate’s offices at district headquarters, covering all 23 districts and 69 subdivisions in the state.
The demo vans will play a crucial role in educating voters in remote areas.
This campaign will continue till the announcement of the Lok Sabha election dates.
