National Voters' Day 2023: When is National Voters' Day Celebrated?
National Voters' Day is celebrated on 25 January to mark the foundation day of the Election Commission of India.
National Voters' Day: History
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. 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.

Where a person can Vote?
Generally, the electoral commission allows a person to vote in the place where he or she resides or lives. If voting is done from two or more different places it is considered as an offence and this should be intimated to the Electoral Commission whenever he or she changes his or her place of living. In other words, we can say that it is a crime. When a person turns 18 years of age, as a citizen of India, he or she can enroll himself or herself as a voter. Also, the Election Commission revises the electoral rolls every five years and also before an election. At the time of voting, it is not necessary to carry a voter id, you can carry your PAN card, Driving license, Adhaar Card, etc.
National Voters' Day: Significance
India is a democratic country. Every citizen has the basic right to vote. He or she has the right to select his leader to whomever they think is capable of leading the nation, solving the problems of common people, bringing about change, etc. National Voters Day is a significant root of India as the future of the country lies in the leader that we choose.
Just think once, that if we do not come forward and choose the right leader then the progress and development of the country will be hampered and will also affect the people of the country. It is the leader of the country who decides various basic big projects and several things. If the basic system will not be developed properly it may lead to under construction of roads, electricity connection problems, etc. Hence, we should encourage youth to participate and build a strong network for the coming generation who will make sure to cast their votes without fail.
