National Voters’ Day 2022

25th January is celebrated as the National Voters’ Day in India. This year marks the 12th observance of the event. The theme for this year’s National Voters’ Day is ‘Making Elections Inclusive, Accessible & Participative’. The theme underscores the primary objective for the observance of National Voters’ Day, which is to urge adults to participate in the democratic process of choosing their elected representatives. On National Voters’ Day, the Election Commission of India (ECI) creates awareness about the need to participate in the electoral process through voting. January 25th has been chosen as the date to observe the National Voters’ Day commemorating the founding of The ECI. The Election Commission of India was founded on this very day in the year 1950. National Voters Day began as an initiative by the Election Commission of India in the year 2011 when it was noticed that young people who were of voting age were reluctant to register themselves as voters. National Awards are conferred each year to district and state-level election officers, personnel from agencies, PSUs, CSO, and members from the media. Various districts conduct competitions and cultural activities to spread awareness about the importance of voting.
