What is SVEEP?
SVEEP (Systematic Voters' Education and Electoral Participation) is a flagship program of the Election Commission of India (ECI) designed to educate citizens, especially new and young voters, about the electoral process and motivate them to participate in elections.
Launched in 2009, SVEEP aims to build a sustainable model for voter education and electoral participation by reaching out to citizens through multiple platforms and innovative strategies. The program focuses on creating awareness about the value of every vote and ensuring inclusive participation in the democratic process.
SVEEP operates on the principle that "an informed voter is key to a healthy democracy." The program addresses low voter turnout and promotes ethical voting practices across diverse communities in India.
