**National Voters Day** is celebrated on **25th January** every year. The **Government of India** started to celebrate 25th January as National Voters Day from **25th January 2011** onwards with an aim to encourage the youth of the country to be a part in the political process and to spread awareness among the voters for their effective participation during the polls.

The **Union cabinet** headed by the then **Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh** approved this proposal of the **Law Ministry** to celebrate national voter’s day in the country. The reason for such an initiative was to encourage the **youth** to take an active part in the political process and to **enrol** them in the **electoral rolls**. Based on certain data collected by the ministry it was observed that young voters who have attained the age of **18** were least interested in getting enrolled in the electoral rolls. To deal with this issue the **Election Commission** decided to identify all the eligible voters in the country and to enrol them on time by handing them their **Electoral Photo Identity Card** on 25th January every year. The new eligible voters were provided with a badge with a logo **“Proud to be a voter – Ready to vote”**. It was expected that such a move by the Government of India will give the youth a sense of pride and empowerment and inspire them to cast their votes. Later a slogan was also joined to emphasize about the initiative. The slogan read as **“No Voter to be left behind”**.
