Bhubaneswar: The 11th National Voters’ Day will be held tomorrow at the Office of the Chief Election Officer conference hall in view of coronavirus pandemic.
Chief Election Officer Sushil Kumar Lohani has said the programme will be held as per the recommendation of the Election Commission of India.
The poll body was formed on January 25, 1950. The National Voters’ Day is being observed from January 25, 2011, every year.
