Theme: “Inclusive and Qualitative Participation”
6th
National Voters’ Day (NVD) was observed across the country on 25 January 2016
by the Election Commission of India. The theme for the 6th National Voters’ Day
is ‘Inclusive and Qualitative

enrolment of voters, especially of the newly eligible ones. The National
function of the NVD was held in New Delhi and presided over by President of India,
Mr. Pranab Mukherjee.
On
the occasion, the Chief Election Commissioner Dr. Nasim Zaidi also released a
book titled, ‘Belief in the Ballot’
and presented it’s the first copy to the President. To celebrate and recognise
the contribution of Government department/Agencies to the efforts of ECI for
enhancing electoral participation, the election commission has introduced
awards. Six newly eligible electors were given their EPICs by President of
India.
25
January is the foundation day of the Commission, which came into being on this
day in 1950. The National Voters’ Day is
also utilised to spread awareness among voters regarding effective
participation in the electoral process.
After
the completion of the NVD National function, the Commission inaugurated the
construction of India International Institute of Democracy and Election
Management (IIIDEM) campus at sector-22 Dwarka, New Delhi.
