For a high turnout of voters and educating them not to get lured by drugs and bribe during the recent Assembly elections, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has selected Faridkot district for a prize for effective use of its Systematic Voter Education and Electorate Participation (SVEEP) programme.
Days before the polling day, in a first-ever-of-its kind initiative in the state, the Faridkot district administration and the election commission office had jointly organised public meetings and played videos on projectors in the rural and urban areas to educate the voters.
