How to Enrol and Vote

A guide for Service Personnel

Why Vote

The Constitution of India grants its every eligible citizen, regardless of gender, education, socio economic status or location - a right to vote and every vote counts the same

When few people vote, a small percentage ends up electing the winning candidate who is supposed to represent the majority. This is not true democracy.

The power of 1– there are many recorded cases of candidates having won or lost by one vote

Participation, Elections, Democracy

Elections reinforce democracy only

when citizens fully participate

Elections do not belong to

political parties. They

belong to people.

When citizens do not become electors and

electors do not vote, we have a

democracy deficit

General Elections to the 16th Lok Sabha • 834 Million

• Male 437 million; Female 397 million Electors

• 923849 Polling Stations

• 15,50,000 EVMs used

• 1.1 crore (about) Staff & Security deployed

• 1200 Observers

• 464 Political parties

• 8251 Candidates

ECI has ordered de novo revision of electoral roll with respect to Service Electors…a fresh electoral roll with respect to Service Voters is being prepared now

So all service personals who had earlier enrolled themselves as Service Electors shall also be required to ENROL AGAIN

Last Date for receiving duly forwarded registration forms for registration as Service Elector – 31st January 2015; Accordingly you should apply sufficiently ahead of this dead line

Unique Stories of Inclusion

Women from Dadaal in Rajasthan, who had never participated in

elections due to socio-cultural reasons

voted for the first time ever since the

independence of the country in post SVEEP Assembly elections in

2013.

After efforts for SVEEP, two members of the Shompen tribe

of Great Nicobar, considered to be one of the last surviving

stone-age tribes, voted for the first time in Lok Sabha

elections 2014.

SVEEP through its facilitation measures ensured that every

voter gets to exercise their franchise, as

polling stations were created for a single

household in Serdanand in

Chhattisgarh and even a single voter in

Gir, Gujarat.

Despite difficult terrain and security

issues, Jammu & Kashmir had a record turnout of 49.72% in Lok Sabha elections 2014, a significant increase of 10.05% over 2009, due to exhaustive SVEEP programme in the

State.
