The Chief Electoral Officer's office, citing the latest data, said on Sunday that the number of first-time voters in Delhi has risen to 2.43 lakh.
According to a statement, the final electoral roll published on January 22 showed a significant increase in the number of first-time voters in Delhi to 1.47 lakh.
"The latest data reveals a remarkable increase from 1,47,074 (1.47 lakh) to approximately 2.43 lakh first-time voters in the voting list. The CEO (Chief Electoral Officer) hoped that the final figure would increase to approximately 2.50 lakh after the publication of the supplementary electoral roll," the Delhi poll body said.
"This achievement stands as a testament to the effective implementation of voter awareness campaigns, targeting the youth demographic," it added.
According to the poll body, the Systematic Voters' Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) activities have led to a significant increase in youth voter registration across Delhi.
SVEEP activities have been conducted on a large scale, encompassing a diverse range of initiatives such as street plays, drawing, painting and essay-writing competitions, slogan contests and voter awareness rallies across various districts.
These activities have fostered awareness and instilled a sense of responsibility and participation among young voters.
