VOTERS’ registration drive, which is being carried out by the district administration, has received an encouraging response from the youths with number of fresh applicants crossing 90,000 on Saturday. As part of the drive to register voters with special emphasis on youngsters, the administration has registered over 46,000 voters in the age range of 18-21 years. The campaign was started on July 1 this year in which colleges were targetted in order to register fresh voters. “A total of 2 lakh voter enrollment forms has been distributed among the students of these colleges. Since most of the colleges have started late, we will get more response in August than we did in July,” said Singh.
