Addressing the students ADM Kumar Vineet said, “15 to 17 years students are the target of this year’s National Voters Day campaign. We all must realize that every vote counts. Systematic Voter Education and Empowerment Program (SVEEP) is an initiative under which more and more voters are being encouraged to become part of the voters list”.

DM BN Singh said, “Elections are most important part of democracy and Young voters are significant to electoral process. Noida may have most educated, working and upper middle class people. Jewar has least literacy ratio. In last elections Noida has minimum voting percentage and Jewar had maximum. So it can be safely said that Villagers have more faith on electoral process. Elections should not be treated as holiday. Standing and commenting on fence are never enough.

Understand the importance of democracy. Even if a vacation or holiday has to be cancelled do it, it is important that voting right should be exercised. National voter’s day is celebrated as festival to encourage the participation in electoral process. If you won’t vote, you are your society loses.
