Admn to rope in residents’ bodies for voter awareness

Gurugram, August 30

To ensure voter turnout in the upcoming Assembly elections scheduled for October 1, the Gurugram district administration has devised a unique plan involving Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs).

Under the plan, voter awareness activities would be conducted in collaboration with over 1,200 RWAs in the district.

District Election Officer and DC Nishant Kumar Yadav said RWAs played a crucial role in motivating urban voters to participate in elections.

This time, many RWAs would feature the “Wall of Democracy” along with dummies of EVMs, VVPATs and control units, he added.

Three RWAs that do commendable work would be awarded a certificate of appreciation and a cash prize.

At the 259 polling stations in 75-Pataudi (SC), 253,684 voters are registered. Similarly, 513,052 voters are registered at the 518 polling stations in 76-Badshahpur, 437,183 voters at the 435 polling stations in 77-Gurgaon, and 283,391 voters at the 292 polling stations in 78-Sohna.
