MUMBAI: With just a few days left for Lok Sabha Elections 2019, Radio City has announced a voting awareness campaign, Votenalli Maja Ide with the objective of increasing voter turnout in Bengaluru. By supporting BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike), the campaign aims to enhance voter participation in Bengaluru that sees the lowest voter turnout when compared with others.
Radio City Bengaluru’s RJ Rajas and RJ Sonu are appointed as BBMP’s brand ambassadors to become the only RJs from Kannada’s radio stations in Bengaluru to be nominated as the district icons. As the face of BBMP, the RJs aim to amplify the need to vote, by visiting colleges and attending meetings. The jocks have also been a part of the election literacy club inauguration at various colleges.
As part of the on-air plan, Radio City Bengaluru has highlighted the election toll free number 1950 and aired radio dramas, speaking on the importance of elections, besides sharing crucial information about the voting process and the facilities made available for the physically challenged citizens. Karnataka Chief Electoral Commissioner Sanjeev Kumar shared with listeners the significance of EVM, VVPAT and Cvigil app, amongst other information.
