Greater Participation for a Stronger Democracy

Founded in 1950, the Election
Commission of India conducts the
entire process of elections to the
office of the President, Vice President,
Parliament and the State Assemblies.
In the performance of its functions
ECI not only prepares, maintains and
periodically updates the Electoral
Rolls, supervises the nominations of
candidates, registers political parties,
monitors the election campaigns
and funding of candidates, but also
ensures active and aware electoral
participation of the second largest
population in the world through its
SVEEP programme.
The Constitution
of India grants its
every eligible citizen,
regardless of gender,
religion, caste,
education, socio
economic status or
location - a right to vote
and every vote has the
same value. Hence, it
becomes imperative for
all citizens to actively
partake in the electoral
process, ensuring many
other rights by utilizing
the right to vote.
Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral
Participation (SVEEP) is a programme to
educate citizens and voters about the electoral
process and to enhance people’s participation
in the processes. SVEEP is based on a three-
pronged strategy of
INFORMATION- To meet any gaps in
information about the What, Where, When and
How of registration and voting process
MOTIVATION- To plug the gaps in motivation
among people, catering to the Why posed by
the people
FACILITATION- To facilitate the citizens by
making their electoral participation, easier,
convenient and friendly.
