Mysore/Mysuru: With the first phase of the Lok Sabha polls on Apr. 19 seeing a low turnout predominantly because of the prevailing heat wave and lack of motivational factors, the Election Commission of India (ECI) is actively exploring methods to increase voter participation in the upcoming rounds.
The ECI is deploying various strategies to attract voters, such as establishing special polling booths, themed polling booths, and booths specifically catering to women. Additionally, it is intensifying efforts to enhance its existing Systematic Voter Education and Electoral Participation Programme (SVEEP) to encourage voter mobilisation.
