The Election Commission of India’s efforts over the last two years to include the country’s Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) in the electoral process are now yielding results. Expressing their faith in democracy, the tribes in Madhya Pradesh have enthusiastically participated in the first and second phases. The Election Commission of India has made special efforts over the last two years to include PVTGs in the electoral process for their enrollment as voters and participation in voting. During the special summary revision for updating of electoral rolls, special outreach camps were organized for inclusion in the electoral rolls in areas where PVTGs reside. It may be noted that Chief Election Commissioner Shri Rajiv Kumar had emphasized on the special efforts of the Commission to enroll and empower PVTGs as proud voters of the country.
