The district election office in Vadodara has chalked out a comprehensive plan under the Election Commission's Systematic Voters Education and Electoral Participation to reach out to voters and increase voting percentage in the city by at least 10% to over 64% from 54% in 2007. DEO and Collector Vinod Rao said the district will hold Democracy Week from December 9 with this aim and will hold 'Run for Democracy' marathon on December 9.
The DEO will also reach out to industry bodies with an appeal to give paid holiday to their employees to exercise their franchise under the Representation of Peoples Act.
