"Students of today are the Torchbearers of Tomorrow's Democracy": CEC Gyanesh Kumar

The Election Commission of India organised its fifth regional conference on "Electoral Literacy Clubs and ECINET" in Ahmedabad, focusing on strengthening electoral literacy and democratic awareness among young citizens. Chief Election Commissioner Shri Gyanesh Kumar stated that Electoral Literacy Clubs (ELCs) across India help strengthen the backbone of democracy. ELC 2.0 reimagines these clubs as structured, digitally-enabled platforms across schools, colleges, and universities under the tagline "Learn Democracy. Lead Democracy." The initiative leverages the ECINET digital platform and targets India’s extensive educational network to promote electoral education, registration, polling processes, and informed participation. Additionally, the CEC interacted with Booth Level Officers (BLOs) of Gujarat regarding the Special Intensive Revision of Electoral Rolls.
