National Voters Day is observed on 25 January every year in order to motivate the youth to take part in the voting electoral process. This year celebrates the 14th National Voters day and promotes the knowledge that right to vote is a basic right with the goal of facilitating, encouraging, and ensuring maximum enrolment of new voters. The day has been celebrated since 2011 as a mark of foundation of the Election Commission of India; 25th January 1950. In this article we are going to look into the history, importance, rights of National Voters Day.
National Voters Day 2025 honours the foundation of the Election Commission of India in 1950. The aim is to spread awareness about the importance of voting in a democratic country and promote active engagement in the election process. It reminds everyone about the importance of individual vote and its impact on the future of the country and the importance of voting ethically and consciously.
25th January is the foundation day of the Election Commission of India (ECI) which came into existence in 1950. This day was first celebrated in 2011 to encourage young voters to take part in the electoral process. No doubt it is the day to celebrate the right to vote and also the democracy of India. The Election Commission's main objective is to increase the enrolment of voters, especially the eligible ones.
Let us tell you that earlier the eligibility age of the voter was 21 years but in 1988 it was lowered to 18 years. The Sixty-First Amendment Bill of 1998 lowered the voter's eligibility age in India.
Being a democratic country, every Indian citizen has a right to vote. Citizen’s of India have a right to choose their own leader based on their personal choice. People can choose the candidate who they believe can solve their problems, and bring changes in the society. National Voters’ Day is significant due to the fact that it aims to promote this thought among the youth and citizens of the country. It is the chosen leader who would represent the people collectively in work towards the betterment of society including electricity connectivity, constructions of roads and building a network in between the people and the leaders. Therefore, it is very necessary to encourage youth to participate in building a strong network for the upcoming generation.
The National Voters’ Day 2025 theme is “Nothing Like Voting. I Vote for Sure.” The theme aims to carry forward the theme from last year, acknowledging the importance of voting as a fundamental right and responsibility. The goal is to motivate the citizens of the country to participate actively in the electoral process.
