New Delhi: President Droupadi Murmu has said that voters should have the determination to rise above narrowmindedness, discrimination and inducements while exercising their franchise, besides having faith in democracy.
Enlightened voters make democracy stronger, she asserted while addressing a 15th National Voters’ Day event in the national capital.
She lauded the poll panel for using new technologies and the latest software in improving and making more transparent the poll process.
The president said she was confident that Indian democracy would continue to set examples for the global community.
“Besides having faith in democracy, voters should have the determination that they will rise above narrowmindedness, discrimination and inducements while exercising their franchise … Enlightened voters make democracy stronger,” she asserted.
National Voters’ Day is being celebrated for the past 15 years to mark the inception of the Election Commission on January 25, 1950, a day before India became a republic.
