    A chance for school students to learn all about the electoral process

    A chance for school students to learn all about the electoral process


    Close to 100 thousand students are expected to take part in Kids Voting 2023, where schools are provided with voting papers and ballot boxes for mock elections.

    More than 600 schools have registered.

    The Commission's Anusha Guler says it's important to learn about the electoral system at a young age.

    She says it's an excellent way to get them involved by taking them through the experience of casting a ballot.
