Election Awareness Campaigns- Targets Park and Beaches
In order to perk up voter’s awareness towards the Lok Sabha elections, we have planned to conduct several turnout campaigns in many public places including parks and beaches, stated by the Chennai District Election Office.
The District Election Office has chalked out strategies to identify and
bridge gaps in voter turnout in the city and they are working towards reaching
10% hike in the voter’s count than previous year.
We have chosen the parks and beaches, since nearly 4000 residents will be
visiting each day; also we have planned to communicate the election messages in
the form of the folk arts like ‘Thappattam’, stated by the election officers.
The key role in the awareness creation program, have been initiated by
the Civil Society Organizations.
