On the occasion of Holi, the Election Commission of India has found out a creative way to ask voters to cast their precious vote in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Asking the citizens to carry over the spirit of Holi, the EC urged them to get their fingers inked on the polling date.
‘Carryover the spirit of Holi to the polling day to colour your finger with the indelible ink, marking your presence in #DeshKaMahaत्यौहार ! Vote is your right, Vote is your responsibility #GoVote,’ they tweeted.
