Therefore, it can be seen that the gap between urban and rural growth rates is
increasingly tilting towards urban growth. This analysis is important from the voter
registration and voter turnout point of view. It is generally noticed that there is
urban apathy towards both, voter registration and voter turnout. With this
background, it becomes necessary to have SVEEP interventions, which can reach
and be found attractive enough by an increasingly urban voter population.

Between the periods from 20/02/2014 to 31/05/2014, there are 50 Festival


celebrations / Fairs/ Haats to be held in the districts. These occasions will be used to
disseminate message of SVEEP through festival celebration venues or by keeping
educational material at these venues. There are 168 folk performing troupes available in
the State. They will be systematically trained and will be requested to disseminate the
message of SVEEP in all their public and private performances across the State.

LITERACY RATE
As per census of India 2011, the literacy rate of India is 74.04% with a vast
gap between male and female literacy rates and between rural and urban literacy
rates as well. In rural India, the literacy rate is 68.91% and in urban India, it is
84.98%. Literacy rate in Uttarakhand is somewhat better than the Indian average
with overall literacy rate of 79.63%. However, the rural-urban gap and the malefemale gap exist in Uttarakhand also. Uttarakhand has a literacy rate of 76.30 % in
rural areas and 84.52% in urban areas.

Similarly, rural and urban males (86.06 and 89.10 respectively) have higher literacy
rates as compared to rural and urban females (66.02 and 79.03 respectively).
Therefore, the total literacy rate of Uttarakhand State reflects the male-female divide
very clearly. 88.33% of males are literate in Uttarakhand as against 70.70% females.

The literacy rate certainly has an impact on the democratic participation process.
Therefore, an assessment of literacy rate is necessary to understand what kinds of
interventions for voter education are required in Districts with comparatively low
literacy rates. SVEEP activities in such districts have to be designed in a manner that
they are understood by voters who are illiterate or semi-literate.

Analysis of reasons for gap in enrolment

Gap found in

PER
Female voter turnout
gap
Male voter turnout
gap

Major factors for this include

Temporary migration for Seasonal work

Lack of awareness for registration due to lower education in some


pockets in state
No any excluded communities in State
High floating population in industry-heavy districts such as
Dehradun, Haridwar & Udhamsingh Nagar.
Health of the roll has improved during Before Summary Revision
programes.
Net increase in electors in 2014 was 2.39%
State Gender Ratio Census 2011 is 963 while State Gender Ratio in
Final Electoral Rolls of 2014 is 905. In current revision programme
total 87364 form - 6 of female have been received in the state. The
main reason for under registration is that young females are
generally not registered before marriage in parents house. After
marriage they find it difficult to produce age proof in new place of
stay/village.
Projected census population in age-cohort of 18-19 in state
is 268536 which is 2.51% of total population. The total elector as
per Final Roll, 2014 in age-cohort of 18-19, is 162276 which is
1.52% of total population. In current roll revision programme total
55275 form-6 were collected in the age cohort of 18-19. The main
reasons for gap appear to be lack of awareness, of accessibility, of
facilitation , and of motivation to register early
No any excluded communities in State

There is 100 % EPIC coverage in the state.

There is 100 % PER coverage in the state.


In 2009 Loksabha Election total voter turnout was 53.96 % in
which female voter turnout was 51.11 % and in 2012 Assembly
Election total voter turnout was 67.22 % in which female voter
turnout was 68.84 %. There is lack of awareness, motivation and
accessibility of facilities.
In 2009 Loksabha Election total voter turnout was 53.96 % in
which male voter turnout was 56.67 % and in 2012 Assembly
Election total voter turnout was 67.22 % in which male voter
turnout was 65.74 %. Migration for work, lack of awareness and
motivation in rural pockets and largely apathy in urban pockets.

SURVEY FINDINGS REGARDING THE REASON FOR NON-PARTICIPATION

The KABBP Survey: Genesis


and Sampling Design

Genesis of Survey of KABBP of Electors

In the month of February 2013, while reviewing with the CEOs, the ECI
expressed need to conduct survey on registration to help plan and implement
interventions ahead of summary revision w.r.t. 1.1.2014. However, as
Parliamentary Elections are due in 2014 focus of the election management
machinery is obviously going towards enhancing voters turnout as well. These
two things set basis for the conduct of Baseline Survey of Knowledge,
Attitude, Behaviour, Belief and Practices (KABBP) of Electors.
The Commission vide its letter No. 447/SVEEP/3/2013 dated 18th March 2013
directed for conduct of KABBP in the state and forwarded copy of the sample
questionnaire to be used and improved during the survey vide its letter of even
No. dated 5th April 2013. Further, vide its letter of even No. dated 25 th April
2013, the Commission sought information about the surveying agency.
The Directorate of Economics and Statistics (DES) under Department of
Planning has been an obvious choice of the CEO because of three genuine
reasons (i) it has been an associate of the o/o CEO during SVEEP-I for
conduct of Voters Behaviour Surveys, (ii) it has been declared as the Nodal
Agency for all statistical activities (including surveys) in the state vide GO No.
07/ XXVI/ two (16)/2008 dated 13 December 2009 issued by the Department
of Planning, and (iii) there would have been delays in selecting an outsourcing
agency due to procurement procedures of the state government. Further, DES
is specialized in conducting socio-economic surveys and specialized surveys.
It participates in various Rounds of the National Sample Surveys (NSS) and
Annual Surveys of Industries (ASI) conducted by the Ministry of Statistics and
Programme Implementation (MOSPI).

The CEO wrote to the Principal Secretary, Planning vide her letter No.
244/XXV-26(Part-II)/2010 dated 26 April 2013 to issue necessary instructions
to the Director, DES for conduct of KABBP survey and communicated on the
same day to the Commission about selection of DES as survey agency in
order to sought approval. The DES got approval of the CEO vide her letter No.
266/XXV-26(Part-II)/2010 dated 08 May 2013 on the proposal which it
submitted vide letter No. 250/Election Survey (4)/1/2013-14 dated 07 May
2013.

Objectives of the KABBP Survey

The Commission vide its letter No. 447/SVEEP/3/2013 dated 18th March 2013
has broadly set the objective of the survey as to understand the extent and
level of knowledge, belief, perception, readiness, trends, factors, reasons of
enrolment and non-enrolment of the eligible people and also to assess the
level of participation & reasons thereof. Keeping broader objectives in mind
the KABBP has been conducted in the state in the months of May-June 2013
with five basic objectives as depicted in Figure-3 below.
Figure-3: Objectives of the KABBP Survey

Methodology Adopted

Whereas results of the SVEEP-I in terms of registration and voter turnout rate
are excellent, it appears reasonable to test further the communication strategy
composed of involving government and private media, civil society/ NGOs,
educational institutions, youth organisations mass-media etc and the material
developed. It is required prior to the Parliamentary Elections in order to
effectively communicate with the electors. Thus, the conduct of KABBP survey
has encompassed through various phases of the specialized survey.
(A)

Schedule of Enquiry:

The Commission vide its letter No. 447/SVEEP/3/2013 dated 5th April 2013
forwarded copy of the sample questionnaire (English version) for the survey.
As state functions in Hindi, the DES first initiated internal discussion to
improve and translate the questionnaire. The Hindi version of the
questionnaire (Schedule of Enquiry No. Election 4.0) was forwarded to the
CEO for comments and suggestions and DES initiated conduct of pilot.
Pilot conducted on 21 & 22 May 2013 by the officials of the Directorate before
the commencement of actual survey resulted in language simplifications in
order to make reading easier for the informants/ respondents and also
rearranging of few questions at some places. Though detailed schedule can
be seen at Annexure-A (English & Hindi Version), various sections included in
it are as per Figure-4.

Training:

Though DES has been conducting Voters Behaviour Surveys since SVEEP-I
and most of the staff engaged for this purpose are fully apprised of the
objectives of the SVEEP, training was given a special emphasis. A training
programme was organized at the DES, Dehradun on 25 May 2013 for the
field-staff engaged in executing the schedule, supervising the field, and
conducting inspections during the survey. Survey Kit and Field Instructions
were given right at the time of training.
(C)

Ensuring Data Quality:

In order to ensure quality of data various measures have been adopted. Few
of them are listed in Figure-5.

Figure-5: Measures adopted to ensure Data Quality


Measures adopted for ensuring quality in the field work are:
During the Training Programme each Block of the questionnaire was discussed for
concept clarity and general instructions were given to the field functionaries
regarding selection of respondents
Field Work was done by the experienced staff of the DES. Actually, the Assistant
Statistical Officer and Additional Statistical Officers of the Directorate were given
the task to visit various selected Assembly Constituencies within a Lok Sabha
Constituency
On-the-Spot Inspections were done by the Senior Officers of the Project Team
specifically constituted for the Survey. They visited/ inspected various Assembly
Constituencies within a Lok Sabha Constituency during the field operation
First Scrutiny (100%) of filled-in questionnaires was done at the Directorate interexchanging questionnaires within a Team
Second Scrutiny/ Validity was performed at the time of the data entry in the
Directorate
(D)

Commencement and Completion of Survey/ Field Work:

The survey work commenced on 26 May 2013 at Assembly Constituency of


Bhimtal (Falling under Lok Sabha Constituency of Nainital-Udham Singh
Nagar ) and Assembly Constituency of Salt (Falling under Lok Sabha
Constituency of Almora). However, field work completed on 03 June 2013 at
Assembly Constituency of Roorkee (Falling under Lok Sabha Constituency of
Haridwar). Data has been entered and processed using the Data Entry and
Processing Software developed in-house.

Survey Coverage, Sampling Procedure and


Sample

Data has been captured in 500 schedules executed in 20 Assembly


Constituencies; 4 each falling in 5 Lok Sabha Constituencies of the state. The
riders used for covering various sampling units are given in Figure-6 (A and
B).

first stage sample units (Assembly Constituency within a Lok Sabha
Constituency). Picture in Figure-7 describes the sampling procedure
summarily.

Note: Voter Turnout Rates may not telly with Table-3 as those were initial figures.

It is to be noted that selection criterion has been developed keeping in view


the ECIs plan to implement SVEEP-II ahead of next Parliamentary Elections
to enhance peoples participation in the electoral process. Further, higher
weight is given to the ACs with lower voter turnout rates in the AE-2012; at the
same time fair representation is given to the ACs with higher voter turnout
rates. Consequently, ACs respectively with highest and lowest voter turnout
rates in AE-2012 got selected.

The KABBP Survey:


Analysis of the Field Data

Extent of Analysis

Data collected from the field i.e. 500 respondents spread in 20 select ACs (4 in
each Parliamentary Constituency) , have been examined thoroughly before
feeding it using the software that is developed in-house in the DES. Various
tables included as Annexure have been produced for facilitating microanalysis. However, macro analysis has been done in this chapter to have a
quick and a crisp analysis of the data. Whereas profile of the respondent/
informants on seven dimensions is prepared using Blocks-A (Chapter-2,
Figure-4) of the schedule, KABBP & SVEEP specific analysis have been done
using Block-B to D.

Responses from the Informants

Responses gathered from the field have been consolidated in various


categories as follows:
Area (Rural-Urban) and Sex (Male-Female) wise consolidated percentage
distribution of responses (Annexure-B)
Age-wise consolidated percentage distribution of responses (Annexure-C)
Educational Status-wise consolidated percentage distribution of responses
(Annexure-D)
Social Group-wise consolidated percentage distribution of responses
(Annexure-E)
Occupation-wise consolidated percentage distribution of responses
(Annexure-F)
APL-BPL-wise consolidated percentage distribution of responses (AnnexureG)
Income Group-wise percentage distribution of responses (Annexure-H)
Overall consolidated percentage distribution of responses (Annexure-I)

Whereas various consolidations mentioned above can be referred for minute


analysis, it appears reasonable to present and discuss the overall
consolidation for a macro analysis. Block-wise notable responses across
various questions are as follows:
(A)

Voters Registration: KABBP about Voter List

About 98.8% respondents have said that they are aware about the Voter List;
percentage of those not aware of Voter List is meagre. Out of respondents

who are aware of the Voter List, 96% (474 in Number) confirmed that their
names are included.

Further, out of 474 those said that their names are included, 98.1% confirmed
about the correctness of their details in the Voter List. This means that out of
500 respondents around 93% aware respondents said that their names are
included in the Voter List correctly.
Out of aware respondents, 36% said they got information to get registered
from the Teacher/ Govt. Employees, 23% from Friend/ Relatives, 14% from
Local Representatives and 13% from BLOs.

Voters Registration: KABBP about Registration

Around 90.6% respondents are found having fair knowledge about the eligible/
minimum age for getting registered. However, 8.4% said that they are not
aware; whereas 1% quoted it wrongly.

The response about the place/ office to get registered is very dull as people
appeared confused about choices thrown through questionnaire or in their
perception there is hardly any difference between these offices as they keep
contacting them for variety of other works/ reasons or at different time points
these offices do facilitate for registration. However, the response behaviour for
Cant Say (31%) category is meaningful and expresses the extent of
unawareness.
(C)

Voters Registration: KABBP about BLO

79% respondents said that they are aware about the local government official/
grass-root functionary/ person is appointed by the government for preparation
and updating Voter List.

Voters Registration: KABBP about VFC

It is to be seen that mere 22% respondents are aware about the Voters
Facilitation Centres. There are number of reasons for lack of awareness in this
regard.

to the fact that many of them did not require visiting (38.2%) the VFCs or they

The KABBP Survey:

Observations & Recommendations

Data Based Observations

Some of the critical observations based on the data are:


Almost all the respondents are found aware of the Voter List. Fairly large
number of them confirmed about inclusion of their names in the Voter
List with correctness. Information about the Voter List is reaching to the
electorates

mainly

from

the

teachers/

grass-root

government

functionaries, friends & relatives and local public representatives. Thus,


both - the government network and the social network are playing
important role in this regard.
As the percentage of the respondents not aware about eligible/ minimum
age for getting registered as Voter is comparatively less, there appears
need to educate citizen about the same. This is essential when 100%
inclusion is the target. Knowledge about the qualifying date for summary
revision is critically missing and needs to be disseminated.
As number of respondents said that there are 18+ years of members of
their family those are yet to be registered, there appears need for
thorough coverage and probing at the time of summary revision. Further,
as many of them quoted lack of awareness as a reason for not getting
registered, there seems requirement of educating electorate about the
registration process.
The responses about the registration place/ office received from the
respondents reflect a very dull pattern. Therefore, there is need to
properly communicate/ inform citizen about the regular (round the year)
place/office of registration & Voters Facilitation Centres (VFCs).

Though electorate/ citizen have knowledge about the appointment of


local government official/ grass-root functionary/ person by the
government for preparation and updating Voter List, they are hardly
aware about her/ his designation as BLO. Thus, BLOs appearance in
the field needs to be improved.
Efforts are needed from BLOs also to communicate about their
designation (for the purpose of the election related work) otherwise
people will continue knowing them with their regular official designation
i.e. Teacher, Patwari, VPDO etc.
As EPIC has actually emerged as one of the important identity
documents, people are completely aware about it. A fairly large number
of respondents are found having EPIC. But, responses from those
without EPIC suggest need for communicating/ informing people about
the process. Here comes the demand for effective role of the BLO in
terms of contacting people. He should also propagate info about the
usage of alternative documents for identity in case someone is not
possessing EPIC.
Awareness about the Voters Facilitation Centres (VFCs) is limited and
thus people do not have knowledge about the facilities being provided at
these centres. There are number of reasons for lack of awareness in this
regard; foremost is the non-visibility of these centres.
The participation pattern as reported by the respondents resembles with
participation pattern as reflected from the actual data from last AE-2012
and

PE-2009

i.e.

comparative

lower

participation

during

the

Parliamentary Elections. Though the fair number/ percentage of


respondents reported participation, the main reasons of non-participation
reported by rest of the respondents are non-inclusion of their name in
the Voter List and not possessing EPIC. It is important to note that both
of them can be tackled during summary revision exercise.

The participating respondents mentioned suitability of the candidate as


main motivation factor for their participation. However, bulk of them also
confirmed that that they participated as they got the voter slip or their
names were included in the voter list. Thus, distribution of voter slip be
strengthened strategically before the date of election.
A large number/ percentage of Electors have rated their voting
experiences as easy/ convenient/ very good or good. They also
categorised police arrangements/ law & order situation as sufficient.
Their experiences at the polling booth are categorised as very good/
good. They have observed the Polling Staff as very cooperative/
cooperative. Though most of the electors have not faced any difficulty in
casting votes or at the polling booth, those who reported facing
difficulties have mentioned long queue as the main reason.
Suitability of candidate, personally knowing the candidate and his
honesty have emerged as the influencing/ motivating factors affecting
the voting preferences and voter turnout. Some of the respondent
responded that usage of muscle and/ or money power also affects
participation. However, accessible and conveniently located polling
booths and publicity of the polling date & time are also reported
enhancing participation rate of the electors. Thus, the controllable factors
be effectively and strategically implemented/ addressed.
A fair number/ percentage of respondent quoted about taking note of the
election related advertisements or campaigns during the elections or at
the time of summary revision. Doordarshan and newspapers are
reported as the major sources of information. But, good number/
percentage of responses are also received for Local Cable/ TV, Private
Satellite Channels and Poster/ Hoardings & Advertising Materials.
The order of merit of information/ messages that are viewed by the
respondents and as perceived by them are: voting as duty & right, steps

taken by the ECI for free & fair election, preparation of EPIC &
registration, separate queue for old, sick and disabled, distribution of
voter slip and info about date & time of election. Therefore, any
communicating strategy being developed be focused for communicating
these items of information appropriately.
Response for seeing/ noting any actor/ actress/ icon in the election
related

advertisements/

campaigns

and

motivating

electors

for

participation are nearly 50%. But, it seems that such atypical response
has emerged possibly because of fading memory of the respondents.
Although not all of the respondents/ electors/ citizen are supposed to
encounter such advertisements, there appears need to suitably place
and time them. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and MS Dhoni have been reported
as most influential Icons.
Your vote is invaluable, use it wisely and My vote, my future emerged
as most preferred slogans heard/ viewed by the respondents in election
related advertisements/ campaigns and/ or perceived by them as
meaningful.

Field Observations/ Recommendations


Important field observations that are captured during discussions with various
stakeholders and respondents along with recommendations are as follows:
Thus, BLOs appearance in the field needs to be improved in following
ways:
o Establishing an office/ cabin for her/ him within the premises of the
office s/he is working at
o Giving them badge & bag

o Raising prominent sign-boards having their details, listing jobs


assigned to them and facilities being offered at their level to the
electors/ citizen
Though staff of the Tehsil, whom election related work is allocated, is in
contact with the BLOs and is working as facilitator, s/he is pre-loaded
with plenty of revenue related tasks. S/he has little time to work as voter
facilitator. There are Janadhar/ Uttara Kendras (e-Seva & information
centres) established at Tehsils. This mechanism may be augmented
appointing a dedicated staff on outsource basis, and hence establishing
a functional VFC round-the-year.
It is to be seen that various advertisements on election go unnoticed by
the electors/ citizen. This is basically due to general human behaviour
whereby attention is given to the matters of personal interest or to the
things those leave deep impressions. Thus, designing, language and
frequency of such advertisements needs to be strategic. Further, while
working out a suitable communication strategy it is necessary to
emphasize the use of TV, Cable Network (including Local Cable
Network) and News papers.
It is to be noted that number of registered electors, being away at the
time of election, fail to participate. This affects the figure of voter turnout.
Critical field observations, which need further examination and a
separate study, are as follows:
o Number of registered electors are actually non-resident in the
sense that they are basically working outside the state but they
visit their native places/ villages merely to continue their linkage.
This helps them continue holding the parental property and attain
various important documents e.g. Khasra-Khatauni, Mool Niwas,
Kissan Bahi etc. prepared.

o There is possibility that local public representatives are trying to


influence and inflate number of electors basically for two reasons
(1) it helps them managing during the Panchayat Elections, and (2)
it also ensures allocation of relatively more funds for development
purposes.
o Further, there is another possibility that primary school teachers,
those are BLOs as well, are mingled with local public
representatives as they in turn inflate the number of primary school
going children, and manage their stay/ posting.
o Allocation of ration to Fair Price Shops, which are mainly allocated
to local public representatives, is also dependent on the size
(units) of their coverage area. Consequently, chances of
population inflation may not be denied.

(includes IMF-Information, Motivation and Facilitation)

COMMON STRATEGY (OVERALL VOTER EDUCATION AND


AWARENESS) Voter Education requires more lead time for
implementation than voter information and will have to be undertaken on
an on-going basis. Therefore, it has been started much before the
announcement of Lok Sabha General Election 2014

PLANNING in advance and forging multiple partnerships are the


basic overarching strategies for our SVEEP Plan. Now with a clear
idea of what is SVEEP, when it will be implemented, who will implement
it, for whom we are implementing it, how we will do it, etc, each District
of Uttarakhand State first came out with an implementable SVEEP plan
focusing on voter registration in 15 July, 2013 to 18 November 2013.
Subsequently, once the Claims and Objections period 18 October to 18
November 2013 for Summary Revision, 2014 each district was directed
to come out with an overall SVEEP Plan for Phase II encompassing both
voter registration and voter turnout IMF activities.

We propose to have an eight-pronged approach while developing our


Voter Education strategy:

Identifying target categories of voters who need to be focused


upon we have specially identified youth in the age cohorts of 1819, women, urban voters, Nomad and migrant labourers.
Identifying Polling Stations that need to be targeted for SVEEP
activities.
Engagement with Media particularly Radio FM channels, AIR,
Doordarshan.
Identifying Partners/Collaborators/Sponsors at district and State
level in a systematic fashion
Following a planned calendar of activities wherein the state and
districts, both shall have monthly calendars in place.
Creating Basket of Content, both at State and district levels.
Each district to have its own locally initiated Innovative
activities/plan.
Strategizing the Timing of Information.

used.
Specially woman registration as per gender gap.

SVEEP FOR MOTIVATION


SVEEP FOR MOTIVATION

SVEEP motivation
the period prior to the announcement
SVEEP FORin
MOTIVATION
of elections:

In this period we will mostly concentrate on educating voters about voter


registration processes, and will also build up awareness about the reasons to
vote and why every vote counts. Making sure that people understand the
voters' list (electoral rolls, process of registration), decide to register, are able
to register and can register correctly are the challenges of SVEEP.

CEO office has been preparing standardized content for group education. We
are also planning that further detailed information if any, shall be disseminated
from not only our website, but also at Voter Facilitation Centre. (all anganwari /
mini anganwari Kendra & Fair price shops) through Media, through Designated
Officers, BLOs, etc.

Such information will not be limited to a legal notice of Summary Revision or


quoting of laws, rather we will ensure that the information is in an attractive
format, understood by the target audience in their language and is timely.

Thus, a massive programme of group education for motivation of educational


institutions, RWAs, Yuvak Mangal Dal, Mahila Mangal Dal etc will be taken up
with the objective of educating them about the following:

the reasons for registration.

the benefits of registration.

Times and Dates of Voter Registration: The dates for summary revision,
the fact of continuous Up-dation will have to be clearly communicated. information
about online and physical locations or places where registration is done.
the manner in which registration is done
how to check the details of that registration
how to correct one's registration if it is wrong

the fact of possession of an EPIC not being a guarantee for being


registered.
For engaging Youth the "Young Voters festival 2013" was recently concluded with
participation of schools and Colleges from across the state.

In addition to the above, representatives of political parties will also be educated,


particularly about:

ways in which the voters list protects them against electoral abuse how we deduplicate, etc

where will the proposed deletion and addition lists be exhibited and how to
challenge the lists

where the list will be displayed for voters to check their names.

how the lists will be used on election day.

how to read and interpret the lists.

SVEEP Motivation from the date of announcement of elections:


There will be several physical events and activities to motivate the voters to
turnout.

SANKALP PATRA:

This was an exercise wherein school.

Children got their parents to accept their responsibility to register as electors.


This was carried out between 25th February and 31 March, 2014.

The Sankalpa Patra will have two pledges as follows:


Pledge to turnout to vote.
Pledge to vote ethically and not vote for bribe/cash/liquor etc.

Other activities:

Various programmes will be held viz. Street Plays, different competitions


amongst the students for inter personal contact with youth.

Listing and detailing of all Resident Welfare Associations, all Yuvak Mangak

candidates, and public information materials, for example, Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs)

Regular and periodic press meetings.

Voter Education workshops at Colleges.

Music and drama productions through our radio partners, NYKS and NSS
and college students.

Folk art interventions.

Motivation through SVEEP will also be done by giving extensive specific


information to voters as given below.

Informing about Time and Date of Elections

This can appear as a standard piece of information in all published material


and will include the hours of voting and the dates on which voting takes
place.

Informing about Location to Vote

Polling Station rationalization work was done October, 2014. Several voters will need to be
informed about their new PS locations. Further, this will need to be known to the voters
from an early stage. A variety of methods will be used, such as:

putting up Posters and Banners in urban neighborhoods.

Making posters out of GIS Maps.

Giving the information to political parties.

using radio, cable TV scrolls, cinema slides to disseminate website address


publishing the information about how to find your PS in local newspapers,
either directly or through the use of inserts.

setting up district information centers and wide publicity of 1950 Helpline,


where the details can be made available in person and over the telephone
publicity of website .

SMS based query system

Informing about Special Voting Services:-

Special services (BMFs) include:

Postal ballots/EDC for service voters (proxy voting also for service voters),
polling personnel, security personnel on duty on poll day;

ramps at Polling Stations;


water and toilet facilities
the use of Braille on EVMs;
separate queues for male and female voters;
Facility for child in arms; priority for senior citizens;
Two female voters to vote for every one male voter, etc
Priority for differentially abeled.
These need to be communicated early. The voters in this case will need to be
informed about the existence of these specific voting services, how to identify
which voters are eligible to use these services, and the timetable and means
by which such services can be requested. Therefore through Information
/Education and through local activities voters will be motivated to avail of
these services

Informing about Documents Required:

Particular emphasis on communicating this to the first-time and young voters,


and other marginal groups such as Nomads, homeless persons, residents of
old age homes, women, etc will be done to motivate them to turnout.

Polling process and how to cast vote on EVM

The provisions for tendered vote, challenged vote and NOTA will also have to
be disseminated to motivate people to exercise their choice unhindered.

Polling and Poll day Security Measures:

This would be a confidence building cum motivation exercise in Voter


Education and would include giving information about Observers, Model code
of

conduct

violation

reporting

helpline,

i.e.

1950,

micro-observers,

videographers, general security measures, contact numbers of election


control room, police stations, security measures for the EVM such as the use
of special paper seals, etc. This acts as a means of encouraging people to
turn out to vote.

Candidates:

On the last day of withdrawal the election offices have to communicate the
list of those candidates who are legitimately nominated to run for election.
This list may only be posted on a notice board outside the office of the
Returning officer. It is also given publicity more widely through the press. We
also scan put up each candidates affidavits on our website immediately after
finalization of candidates.

Codes

of Conduct:-

Widespread circulation of codes of conduct will assist in reducing conflict and


motivating people to turnout with the understanding that there is a level playing

field.

BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS FOR IMPLEMENTATION:One of the biggest factors of success of the SVEEP campaign in Uttarakhand

can be attributed to the network of partners and sponsors who helped and supported its
implementation. The office of CEO, Uttarakhand and its election machinery at the district

level, will either partner or collaborate with a variety of organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, to implement SVEEP activities across the state. The range includes
government departments/organizations such as Doordarshan (DD), All India Radio (AIR),
Information Department, Higher Education Department, Planning Department, woman and
Child welfare department, Urban develop or Municipal etc., to non-government
organizations and Civil Society Organizations such as Mahila Mangal Dal, Yuvak Mangal
Dal, Fair Price shops, Medical Associations, NYKS, NSS and NCC, etc. For undertaking
such partnerships or collaborations, the first step that we have identified is to enlist the
range of all possible partners at District and State level.

Therefore at State level we are in active consultations with the following

MEDIA & COMMUNICATION PLAN

OVERALL APPROACH

Our overall approach will be that of Media Synergy as inherent to all our
strategies.

Voter Education for every voter is near impossible; however, we will consider
all kinds of media that directly reach people, for the following reasons:

Voter Education needs fast, reliable, legitimate, and cheap methods.

Voter Education requires that voters hear messages in a language /


dialect they understand.

We have a very short time period to achieve our goal, hence the only
way out is Communication Bombardment.

Different media will have to be considered in different ways for developing strategies
to communicate specialized messages. We are looking at including the following:

Television

Cable TV

Radio

Newspapers

Magazines

Outdoor Advertising Space

Internet

Cinema Theatres/Slides/Ads

Voter Facilitation Centre

Website

Uploading important SVEEP activities on YouTube

Web streaming interesting SVEEP activities

Local Festivals, arts, music, drama

Special events

Briefings

Workshops

Direct e-Mail

SMS

TARGETED APPROACH

Special messages are being developed for the following categories


through Hoardings, jingles, quickies, short films, street theatre, use of folk art,
and through widespread use of electronic and digital media aside from several
other interventions.

youth

women

urban voters

excluded communities (Nomad or Homeless)

rural voters

election staff (Polling Personal etc)

CONTENT DEVELOPMENT
At the state level, a variety of content is being developed for
dissemination in the districts through a multitude of media. The State level
SVEEP team shall also be vetting the plethora of content that will be
developed by district level machinery. The content that is being / will be
developed at the state level and the target audience in focus for that content
has been provided in the table below.

District Level Content:

Districts are given the freedom to develop local content at their


level according to the issues and gaps identified in their respective
regions. The content developed by them will be sent to the CEO,
for approval. The Joint CEO for SVEEP will chair the SVEEP
Content approval Team and consult the CEO for vetting the
content developed by the district machinery to ensure:

Accuracy of the message: if the message of the content is


concurrent with the objectives and vision of SVEEP that was
disseminated from the state level.

Political neutrality: To ensure that all content developed and the


mode through which it is envisaged to be disseminated are
politically neutral and don't appear to support any particular
political party contesting elections. This is very important as the
work of ECI and its machinery must remain neutral to all political

discourse and work solely with focus on increasing electoral


participation during SVEEP.

Effectiveness of the message: Short and effective messages


incorporating the local cultural sensitivities, or messages that were
attractive for a particular category of voters, etc. were encouraged.

In case it is found that the ideas / innovations of a district are particularly


exceptional, then we will attempt to replicate and scale up across the state.

PHYSICAL EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES

OVERALL APPROACH

The calendar of activities has already been planned. The Calendar for March
to April, 2014 is prepared by all districts. The highlights of the approach
and some of the relevant activities are as follows:

MONITORING MECHANISM
The monitoring of the above mentioned large-scale activities
across the state requires regular follow up from the state level to check the
progress of implementation of planned activities in the districts. At the state
level, the Joint CEO / Nodal Officer for SVEEP will oversee the SVEEP
activities across the state and hence carry out the periodic review along with
the 07-member review team from the core election machinery in the CEO
office.

At the District level, SVEEP Nodal Officers are being appointed and they
shall monitor the implementation of the SVEEP Plan and also intervene
for mid-course corrections/modifications/additions if any.
During the review meetings/discussions, based on the plan and
implementation activities can also be modified mid-course according to
requirement found from review. Thus, the plan remains flexible and
dynamic throughout the implementation period, allowing the activities to
be relevant and effective as required.
The review of SVEEP shall also involve:

Vetting of district level content that is being continuously


developed. Vetting in turn involves:

Checking to see if the content is politically neutral and not leaning


towards any particular candidate/political party.

Checking to see if the content developed is in tandem with the


objectives and vision of SVEEP at the state level.

Checking to see if it catered to the gaps identified in the district in


the plan and is effective in its messaging.
Evaluating progress of implementation of planned activities. Thus a
planned versus actual review will be conducted, along with review of
immediate results such as registration figures, as mentioned earlier.
EVALUATION & DOCUMENTATION
For post election assessment of the targeted interventions, PS that

are being monitored shall have a separate ERMS entry and Report format to
ensure that quick assessments are possible.
