KATHMANDU, MARCH 2
The voter education programme conducted nationwide by the Election Commission with the objective of raising awareness about the importance of elections, the voting process, and reducing invalid votes has been completed.
The Commission carried out the programme in all 6,743 wards across the country. The initiative, which began on February 15, concluded on Sunday in all wards of the 753 local levels nationwide. Voter education volunteers were mobilised in every ward to implement the campaign.
Election Commissioner Dr Janaki Kumari Tuladhar said the programme was successfully completed through volunteers who reached out to voters at their doorsteps. She also commended the significant contribution of Female Community Health Volunteers, whose involvement ensured the effective implementation of the targeted campaign.
Female community health volunteers have been entrusted with the responsibility of providing voter education since the 2079 BS general elections.
For the effective execution of the programme, the Commission had also appointed focal persons at the local level, who served as monitors of the voter education campaign and conducted orientation sessions.
