No Divyang left behind from ka ‘accessible elections’ in State
Jaipur: With the Accessible elections as core area of thrust, we are aiming ambitiously to achieve 100% registration of people with disability in electoral rolls.
The comprehensive SVEEP plan encapsulated various activities. In this regard, the data from the Disability Commission and Department of Social Justice & Empowerment was collected.
Augmented usage of Electoral Literacy Clubs (ELCs) for enhanced electoral awareness and increased online registration was also focused upon. The BLOs were directed to contact PwD electors on telephone, if needed. Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar said ramps and wheelchairs would be provided at the polling booths and Voters with 40% disability can vote from home. Adopting a crisp crisis management strategy customised as per the need of an hour, the CEO Rajasthan seamlessly incorporated and explored new innovative ways to expand its outreach.
