WHY SHOULD EVERY CITIZEN VOTE?

We often find ourselves complaining about how our country is run but are we taking any action to
change that? we can start by making an informed vote. Voting is the fundamental right of all citizens.
It is a way for us to express our opinions and views. As a democratic country, India’s very foundation
is built on elections.

the voter turnout in the last general election was only 67.40% which means that nearly 1 third of our
population does not exercise their right to vote. When the general attitude changes from “my vote
doesn’t matter” to “every vote counts”, the number of votes will increase and we can make a
significant difference. The responsibility lies on every individual.

Our forefathers struggled to win our freedom and we have the right to vote because of them.
Exercising our right to vote upholds what our freedom fighters envisioned for India. We can honour
and respect our freedom fighters and the struggle of our past generations by voting for a better
India.
