Enlightened Electorate
Elections are an integral component of a thriving democracy. Like Examinations their integrity and importance need to be duly impregnated into the psyche of the electorate. Educational Institutions at large have thereby the sacred responsibility of nurturing this very hands-on competence of its students in addition to the teaching of Civics/Political Science within the Classrooms.
In every election, voter and civic education are necessary to ensure that all constituents— men and women alike —understand their rights,their political system,the contests they are being asked to decide, and how and where to vote.
For an election to be successful and democratic,voters must understand their rights and responsibilities,and must be sufficiently knowledgeable and well informed to cast ballots that are legally valid and to participate meaningfully in the voting process. Voter and civic education is thereby a critical component of an all round educational regime as elections do have an unprecedented impact on the future of the constituency, state as well as a the country depending on the type of election being contested. It’s thereby important to extend this very aspect to create a much larger Enlightened Electorate.
