National Voters' Day 2022: History Of Election Commission

In 2011, the Election Commission of India launched a campaign called National Voters Day. The then-Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, called a meeting of the Union Council of Ministers. Young people of the voting age have been observed to be wary of registering to vote. This prompted the creation of National Voters' Day, which aims to identify and enlist young people who have turned 18, as well as provide them with their Electoral Photo Identity Card (EPIC). National Voters' Day was established on January 25, 1950, to commemorate the founding of The Election Commission on that date.
