Red FM and Election Commission joins together to attract first time voters

With the intent to stimulate people to vote in the upcoming General Election 2014, Red FM and Election Commission on 31st March partnered to urge the people, especially the first time voters, to come up on the polling day and participate in the 16th Lok Sabha.  

Under the partnership, Red FM will run a mega election awareness campaign titled Dabaa Ke Bajaa!, through the entire duration of elections, to reach out to the masses.

Akshay Rout, Director General, Election Commission of India on the occasion stated that we are proud to have taken RED FM on-board to promote voter participation. With over 814 million registered voters this time, there is no better medium than radio to reach out to the masses and get them to cast their vote. RED FM with its stations across the country, and its substantial reach, will help us in connect with people, especially the first-time voters. It is very encouraging to see a private radio station show such tremendous enthusiasm to get maximum people to vote. We are focusing on enhancing voter participation in all the states and UTs and hope to achieve the same with support from all sections of people.
