The Election Commission of India organized its fourth regional conference on Electoral Literacy Clubs (ELC 2.0) and ECINet in Goa. Chief Election Commissioner Shri Gyanesh Kumar stated that ELCs serve as platforms for youth to understand democratic values and electoral processes. The ELC 2.0 initiative, themed 'Learn Democracy. Lead Democracy.', uses the ECINet digital platform to drive continuous electoral literacy across schools, colleges, and universities. The initiative targets India's educational ecosystem to promote factual and experiential electoral education, encourage informed participation among first-time voters, and disseminate information regarding registration, polling, and other ECI initiatives.
