SHILLONG: Meghalaya’s Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) initiative, ‘Mission U Nite’ (U and I towards Enrolment), has been shortlisted by the Election Commission as a nominee for National Awards 2017 for creatively engaging the youth.
In a statement, chief electoral officer Frederick Kharkongor said the aim was an active and visible mobilisation of young and future voters to enroll for the 2017 campaign.
The campaign aggressively championed enrolment on campus.
At the end of the campaign, there was a net addition of 21,455 new voters to the electoral roll.
The notable highlight was the culmination where a human logo formation of 2,873 young and future voters drawn from 113 schools, three colleges and other institutions earned a place in the Limca Book of Records as the largest number of assembled young future voters in one venue.
