Twitter India is also launching a special election emoji to encourage healthy participation in election-related discussions

With Lok Sabha elections around the corner, conversations and debates on Twitter are on the rise. In a bid to provide accurate information to the voters, Twitter India welcomes the Election Commission of India (EC) onboard with its Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation Program (SVEEP)

The program is set up to raise more voter awareness through the platform. The handle was launched on Holi and one of their first campaigns on Twitter #DeshKaMahaTyohar is about ensuring no voter is left behind, said the statement.

Umesh Kumar Sinha, Deputy Election Commissioner said, “As we move closer to the 17th Lok Sabha elections, we are committed to ensuring fair administration of the electoral process, by equipping India’s voters with accurate and adequate information to make their choice”
