The Election Commission of India has taken many steps to create awareness and

educate the Voters about their right to choose the right candidate to represent
them in various houses. But still a lot has to be done as we have not been able to
make the voters perfect for the purpose. Money and muscle power, caste and
community etc. still play a major role in deciding the results of various elections.
70 % electors of India are residing in Rural Areas. Most of those voters are
illiterate/ semi-literate and unaware about Right to Vote. They have no basic
knowledge about Electoral process when elections are held to the State/UT
Legislative Assemblies or Parliament.. Mainly they are guided by the local
sentiments and demands, caste and community factors and money and muscle
power.
Voters of rural areas, in particular and voters of our Country, in general are
required to be educated by imparting basic training on Electoral process to be
conducted village-wise or Polling station-wise at least two or three months prior
to the day of Poll. Such basic training shall create voter’s awareness about
Electoral Process, Model Code of Conduct, Electoral Offences, etc. Voter’s
awareness campaign through AIR/Door Darshan/Print Media does not reach rural
areas where there is no such facility. Even Voters don’t know about Negative
Voting though they don’t have right candidates to be elected as their
representative. Such electors need to be enlightened about Negative Voting
Right by imparting basic training on electoral matters only.
