Navi Mumbai, Jan 10: Third-gender citizens in Navi Mumbai have stepped forward to promote voter awareness by urging residents to exercise their constitutional right to vote ahead of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation general elections scheduled for January 15.
The initiative is being carried out under the Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) programme, which aims to ensure 100 per cent voter turnout.
Awareness activities at public locations
As part of the campaign, third-gender citizens conducted awareness activities at busy public locations such as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Chowk, Arenja Corner and Sector 9 Market in Vashi. They distributed informational leaflets and appealed to voters to actively participate in the civic polls.
Citywide participation
The voter awareness drive is being implemented across the city with the involvement of various social groups. Special campaigns are being conducted effectively in schools and colleges, while women’s groups, non-governmental organisations and senior citizens’ associations are also spreading awareness about the voting process, particularly the multi-member voting system being introduced for the first time in these elections.
Officials praise initiative
An election official said, “Voting is an equal constitutional right of every citizen, and the enthusiastic participation of third-gender citizens in the SVEEP campaign reflects Navi Mumbai’s inclusive culture and strengthens our efforts to achieve maximum voter turnout.”
