India's chief elections commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Saturday exhorted the young electors to not only vote without fail, but to also lead the fight against misinformation, disinformation and false narratives.
“For this, it is essential that they remain fully informed about electoral processes and the various initiatives of the Election Commission, and actively disseminate accurate information among their friends, families, and communities,” he underlined in a televised address on the eve of National Voters Day observed on Jan. 25 each year.
