As Mizoram joined the nation in observing the National Voters’ Day on Monday, Mizoram chief secretary Lalnunmawia Chuaungo called on all voters to exercise their franchise to be a part of the nation-building process, reminding the citizens that every vote counts.

"Unlike other countries where universal adult franchise was a long struggle, the Constitution of India guaranteed citizens the right to vote as soon as the country became a republic. This is a hallmark of Indian democracy," the chief secretary said.

The National Voters’ Day function organised at the SAD Conference Hall, MINECO in Aizawl.
