The Electoral Literacy Club (ELC) of GEMS Arts & Science College (Autonomous) organized a Three-Day Voting Awareness Campaign from 8th to 10th December 2025 in connection with the Kerala Local Body Election 2025, under the Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) initiative. The programme aimed to create awareness among students and the nearby community about the importance of voting, democratic rights, and responsible citizenship, with special focus on motivating young and first-time voters to actively participate in the electoral process.
The campaign began with a Digital Poster Display on 8th December 2025 through the college digital display system under the theme “Your Vote, Your Power.” This was followed on 9th December 2025 by awareness talks delivered by student volunteers at GEMS Arts & Science College and as an outreach programme at Puzhakkattiri Panchayath, highlighting the significance of local body elections and the role of citizens in strengthening democracy. On the final day, a “Pledge to Vote” initiative with a Selfie Point was organized on campus, where students actively took a pledge to cast their vote responsibly in the upcoming election.
The programme was successfully conducted with the active support of 10 NSS volunteers, who assisted the Electoral Literacy Club in organizing and coordinating all activities. The volunteers played a vital role in mobilizing participants, conducting awareness sessions, supporting outreach activities, and ensuring smooth execution of the programme. Overall, the campaign effectively enhanced electoral awareness, encouraged civic responsibility, and reinforced democratic values among students and members of the local community.
