India celebrates 15th National Voters’ Day (NVD) today. in 2025, the Election Commission of India (ECI) celebrates 75 years of its service. National Voters’ Day marks the foundation of the Election Commission of India (ECI) in 1950. This day has been observed since 2011 and aims to encourage citizens to vote

National Voters’ Day was introduced in 2011 to encourage young people to register as voters. The initiative came after it was noticed that many eligible youth were not signing up to vote. The then government, led by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, decided to create a special day to focus on enrolling these young voters and giving them their voter identity cards (EPIC).

January 25 was chosen for the occasion because it marks the day the Election Commission of India was established in 1950.
