Ludhiana, April 4, 2024: In order to achieve a voting percentage of over 70% during the upcoming general elections, special selfie points will be set up in hotels, cinemas, malls, parlours, and restaurants. These points are designed to encourage maximum participation from voters, especially young people. The initiative is part of the Systematic Voters' Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) program and aims to sensitize voters to participate in the democratic process.
At a meeting held in Bachat Bhawan, Additional Deputy Commissioner (G) Major Amit Sareen stated that the selfie points will not only provide a new place for people to have their picture taken, but also disseminate the message of voting to them. He told that the selfie points must be set up in lounges and entry/exit areas, so that people can use them conveniently for clicking their pictures. He hoped that this effort would motivate young voters to participate enthusiastically in the upcoming assembly elections.
Apart from setting up selfie points, Sareen also asked cinema hall owners to show video messages of ethical voting before and during movie shows. Fuel stations were asked to display voter awareness hoardings to sensitize voters, and restaurants were requested to offer discounts on food items to voters with inked fingers on voting day (June 1).
Sareen emphasized that hotels, restaurants, cinemas, malls, and parlours could play a crucial role in motivating residents to come out in large numbers when the district goes to the polls on June 1. He urged all stakeholders to give their full support in achieving a voting percentage of more than 70% this time.
