India is the biggest Democracy in the world by number of Voters (by size, USA would be no 1). Our country holds a record of holding series of peaceful and successful elections. The transfer of Power is smooth and without any hiccups or interventions. All three arms of the state, Legislature, Executive and Judiciary work independently and provide the necessary checks and balances.
The magic called Indian Democracy has given power to people and also brought down people from the power. This dance of democracy is done every five years for the Parliament and Legislature Assemblies respectively. In this dance of democracy, the biggest players are the Voters who exercise their right to Vote and perform their sacred duty towards our Mother Land.
The general elections for Loksabha are around the corner. It would be the biggest dance of democracy that is going to happen. Unfortunately, many of us are either callous and disinterested in casting our vote or even when they want to cast their vote, they do not know how to register as a voter. Some who are registered as a voter somewhere else and now live in a different place or city keep wondering how to get their name shifted.
This post is not meant for those who very stupidly take pride in stating that they have neither voted in any election nor have any inclination to do so. This post is meant for that vast majority who wants to register as a b voter and consider voting their sacred duty.
Registering as a voter is easy. Here are two ways that I know. One where you have to physically go and register and the second method is doing it online where the Election staff may come to you for verification purpose. Take your pick.
Method I - Closure to the elections many political parties, social service organisations and sometimes your own housing societies organise voter registration camps. One can go to such a camp with your Photo (carry spare copy too, just in case), Proof of date of birth and proof of your address. The staff there would assist you thereafter.
Method II - To register as a voter online, go to www.nvsp.in. the Page looks like this:-
