Speaking on the occasion, the President said that Indian democracy is a shining example for the world. We are both the largest and most diverse democracy. And while the contribution of all stakeholders in our election process is important, two stakeholders stand out. These are the voters and the Election Commission. In their roles, they complement each other.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The President said that India\u2019s sheer size and the logistics of elections in our country make it critical to embrace modern technology. India\u2019s democracy and electoral system is held in high regard internationally. Election institutions of many countries have studied our electoral management system. The Election Commission of India has helped train officers and built capacities in several countries. This is a reflection of the respect for it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The President noted that the theme of Voters\u2019 Day this year is, \u201cNo voter to be left behind.\u201d He said that the principle behind this is very simply the principle of upholding equality of political rights and of universal franchise. A general election in a democracy is akin to a sacred ritual. He urged all eligible citizens to become part of this ritual and participate in the general election of 2019. He said that each vote will encourage another voter, and each vote will strengthen our democracy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi, Jan. 25 (Punjab Post Bureau) &#8211; The President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind, graced and addressed the 9th National Voters\u2019 Day celebrations today (January 25, 2019) in New Delhi.
