The ‘Vote Vandi’, an initiative to create awareness on the Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) machine among the voters and to include the names of new voters in the voters list, reached the Mar Ivanios College on Wednesday as part of its tour across the district.
New voters in the college added their names to the voter’s list and acquainted themselves with the machine.
The ‘Vote Vandi’ programme is being organised jointly by the Election Commission, the district administration, and the Information and Public Relations department.
