In order to sensitize the young and working citizens on their right to vote, Infotech Enterprises along with “Let’s Vote” has launched the first-ever “Mobile Voter e-Registration Van” at their Manikonda campus. This step will help Let’s Vote to create awareness around voting rights amongst the urban population. The mobile voter registration facility has been designed and is being implemented by the Chief Electoral Officer at Andhra Pradesh. The event was targeted at the IT workforce and engineering students from colleges like IIIT-H.
Dr BVR Mohan Reddy, Chairman & Managing Director, Infotech Enterprises, said, At Infotech, we have always believed in supporting causes for the betterment of society and voter awareness is one such initiative. For better governance, it is critical for the educated and informed section of the society to exercise their voting rights. Through this campaign, we hope to bring about awareness and increase the level of participation. I urge all Infotech employees, IT fraternity and other citizens to come forward and register for Voter ID’s and actively vote.
J. A. Chowdary, Founder, Let's Vote, said, The elections in the past have reflected that participation of the educated class in voting is significantly lesser than the rural class. With assembly elections due in about two months and general elections in 9–10 months, we have a task in hand to reach out to the youth and empower them with Voter IDs.
This will be the first time in India when electronic voter registrations will be conducted through mobile vans. The concept intends to cover the entire country before the 2014 General Elections.
