The Haryana Government has decided to administer voters’ pledge and conduct a variety of activities on the occasion of National Voters’ Day, which is celebrated on January 25 every year. The schools and educational institutes of the state have been directed to conduct activities such as debates, discussions and competitions as part of the Voters’ Day celebrations or during the run up to National Voters’ Day on the theme of ‘Nothing like voting. I vote for sure’.

Chief Secretary Vivek Joshi has written a letter in this regard to all administrative secretaries, heads of departments, MDs of boards and corporations, deputy commissioners and vice-chancellors and registrars of universities, wherein they have been asked to direct the staff under them to take the National Voters’ Day pledge on January 25.

The letter states that the Election Commission of India has declared its foundation day as National Voter's Day. This day is celebrated every year on January 25 across the country from the polling station level to block, Assembly constituency, district and state level. The main objective of celebrating this day is to spread awareness among the general public to get every eligible citizen included as a voter on the voter list.
