Every corner of the capital is set to witness the campaign as these auto-rickshaws, adorned with eye-catching posters and slogans, traverse the streets. According to an official statement, this visible approach is intended to propagate the democratic ethos and motivate active voter involvement, spotlighting the criticality of voting as a core democratic right. Speaking to the public, R. Alice Vaz emphasized, "Voting is not just a right but a responsibility that fortifies democracy's bedrock.
