I extend my sincere greetings to all Islanders on National Voters’ Day. I urge every eligible voter of Andaman and Nicobar Islands to exercise their franchise and also request all youths to register as voters when they turn 18.

On this day I also greet the Election Commission and acknowledge their important role in our democracy.

Since 2011, National Voters' Day has been observed on January 25 every year throughout the country to commemorate the founding day of the Election Commission of India, i.e. January 25, 1950. The day is dedicated to the country's voters, raises voter awareness and encourages informed participation in the political process.
