Why a healthy democracy needs getting electoral literacy

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 3 January 2024
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has included chapters on electoral literacy in school textbooks to familiarize students with their roles and responsibilities as future voters. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the Ministry of Education to include relevant study material. The curriculum, starting from 2024-25, will educate students about the election process and the importance of voting. The collaboration aims to empower young people by bridging the knowledge gap among the youth and first-time voters.

LS Polls 2024: Election Commission asks AAP to modify its Lok Sabha election campaign song| Oneindia

On April 28, the Election Commission of India (ECI) directed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to revise the content of its Lok Sabha campaign song to adhere to the Advertising Codes outlined in the Cable Television Network Rules, 1994, and ECI guidelines. The AAP was requested to make necessary modifications to the song and resubmit it for certification. “The phrase “jail ke jawaab me hum vote denge” showing an aggressive mob holding the photo of Arvind Kejriwal showing him behind bars, casts aspersions on the Judiciary. Further, the said phrase appears several times in the advertisement which contravenes the provisions of ECI Guidelines and Rule 6(1(g) of Programme and Advertising Codes prescribed under the Cable Television Network Rules, 1994” (DISPLAY) said ECI. #LSPolls2024 #ElectionCommission #AAP #CampaignSong #ArvindKejriwal #Arrest #ECGuidelines #ModelCodeOfConduct #PoliticalCampaign #SongModification ~PR.152~ED.101~GR.125~HT.96~
