VoteIndia.in was an independent, non-profit, non-charitable, non-governmental, and politically neutral project initiated by a group of young Indian students and professionals. It aimed to increase voter turnout and encourage the people of India to make informed choices in selecting their leaders.
Objective
The main objectives of VoteIndia.in were:
- Increasing the voting percentage by encouraging and assisting users.
- Encouraging people to consider "Good Governance" as a criterion for choosing their candidate.
- Educating voters about their rights and the importance of voting.
Activities
VoteIndia.in was involved in gathering information on appointing college and corporate representatives and making presentations in offices and college campuses (presently in Mumbai) to educate students and professionals about the election process and registration procedures. The Vote India website also provided information regarding the registration process.
The website provided information about voter registration in English and Hindi. There were other articles providing information about rule 49-O , Right to recall and the Right to reject.
Affiliations
VoteIndia.in did not have any affiliation with any organisation or political party. While VoteIndia.in was open to financial assistance from any non-political organisation, it intended to retain freedom in its operations.
