January 25 marks the foundation day of the Election Commission of India, also celebrated as National Voters' Day (NVD) since 2011.The NVD epitomizes the resolve of ECI to pull all stops out to make elections inclusive, participatory, voter-friendly and ethical.
The main purpose of the NVD celebration on January 25 is to create electoral awareness amongst citizens and encourage them to participate in the electoral process. Dedicated to the voters of the country, National Voters' Day is also used to facilitate the enrolment of voters, especially the newly eligible ones. New voters are felicitated and handed over their Elector Photo Identity Card (EPIC) in the NVD functions held across the country.
