राष्ट्रीय मतदाता दिवस

अधिक युवा मतदाताओं को राजनीतिक प्रक्रिया में भाग लेने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करने के लिए, भारत सरकार ने हर साल 25 जनवरी को "राष्ट्रीय मतदाता दिवस" ​​के रूप में मनाने का निर्णय लिया है। आयोग के स्थापना दिवस को चिह्नित करने के लिए इसे 26 जनवरी, 2011 से शुरू किया गया है।

प्रधानमंत्री मनमोहन सिंह की अध्यक्षता में केंद्रीय मंत्रिमंडल की एक बैठक ने इस आशय के कानून मंत्रालय के प्रस्ताव को मंजूरी दी। 

राष्ट्रीय मतदाता दिवस कैसे मनाया जाता है?

 राष्ट्रीय मतदाता दिवस हर साल एक थीम के साथ मनाया जाता है। 2019 में, थीम "कोई मतदाता नहीं छोड़ा जाना था"। इस दिन, सरकार मतदाताओं (विशेष रूप से युवा मतदाताओं) को राजनीतिक प्रक्रिया में भाग लेने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करने के लिए अभियान चलाती है। राष्ट्रीय पुरस्कार चुनाव प्रक्रियाओं में उत्कृष्टता और नवीनता के लिए दिए जाते हैं। ये पुरस्कार चुनाव मशीनरी, सरकारी विभागों, मीडिया और सार्वजनिक उपक्रमों के योगदान को पहचानते हैं।

 भारत में किसे वोट दे सकते हैं

 भारत के संविधान के अनुसार, एक नागरिक जो अर्हक तिथि में कम से कम 18 वर्ष का है, वह मतदान करने के योग्य है।

 भारतीय लोकतंत्र नागरिकों को नागरिकता अधिनियम के तहत अधीनता, नस्ल या रंग की उनकी पिछली स्थिति की परवाह किए बिना मतदान करने की अनुमति देता है। भारतीय पासपोर्ट रखने वाले अनिवासी भारतीय भी मतदान कर सकते हैं।

 भारत निर्वाचन आयोग (ईसीआई) के बारे में

 भारत निर्वाचन आयोग की स्थापना 25 जनवरी, 1950 को मुख्य चुनाव आयुक्त की नियुक्ति के साथ हुई थी। यह भारतीय संविधान के अनुच्छेद 324 के तहत काम करता है। इसमें तीन सदस्य होते हैं - एक मुख्य चुनाव आयुक्त और दो अन्य आयुक्त। उन्हें भारत के राष्ट्रपति द्वारा छह साल के लिए नियुक्त किया जाता है। चुनाव आयोग एक संवैधानिक प्राधिकरण है।

 भारत निर्वाचन आयोग की क्या भूमिका है?

 भारत में चुनाव दुनिया का सबसे व्यापक लोकतांत्रिक अभ्यास है और चुनाव आयोग उन्हें प्रशासित करता है। यह लोकसभा, राज्यसभा, राज्य विधानसभाओं, राज्य विधान परिषदों और देश के राष्ट्रपति और उपराष्ट्रपति के कार्यालयों के लिए चुनाव आयोजित करता है। ECI स्वतंत्र और निष्पक्ष चुनाव कराने के लिए जिम्मेदार है और इसे भारत में चुनावों का संरक्षक माना जाता है। यह आदर्श आचार संहिता के दिशानिर्देश जारी करता है, जिनका राजनीतिक दलों और उनके उम्मीदवारों द्वारा पालन किया जाता है। कोड के उल्लंघन के मामलों की सूचना ईसीआई को दी जा सकती है। हालांकि, आयोग के पास नियामक शक्तियां नहीं हैं। आदर्श आचार संहिता में चुनावी नैतिकता के नियम शामिल हैं।

 ईसीआई चुनाव खर्च पर सीमा निर्धारित करता है, मतदाता सूची बनाए रखता है और चुनाव कार्यक्रम पर निर्णय लेता है। आयोग मतदाताओं को प्रभावित करने वाले रुझानों को प्रकाशित या प्रतिबंधित करता है। वोटों के लिए नकदी के प्रभाव को रोकने के लिए, आयोग ने भारतीय राजस्व सेवा के अधिकारियों को सभी चुनावों के चुनाव पर्यवेक्षकों के रूप में नियुक्त किया है।

 चुनाव आयोग नामांकन दाखिल करने के समय भरे गए अपने हलफनामे के माध्यम से उम्मीदवार के विवरण और संपत्ति का जायजा लेता है।

 इसे राज्य के स्वामित्व वाले केबल टेलीविजन नेटवर्क और अन्य इलेक्ट्रॉनिक मीडिया और एक नागरिक अदालत की शक्तियों पर प्रसारण समय आवंटित करने की जिम्मेदारी दी गई है ताकि शिकायतों की जांच की जा सके और चुनाव नियमों को लागू किया जा सके।

एनवीडी 2020 के लिए विषय 'मजबूत लोकतंत्र के लिए चुनावी साक्षरता' था। विषय साल भर की गतिविधियों के लिए टोन सेट करता है जो मतदाता शिक्षा और चुनावी प्रक्रिया में नागरिकों के विश्वास के नवीकरण पर केंद्रित है।

ईवीएम क्या है?

इलेक्ट्रॉनिक वोटिंग मशीन (जिसे ईवीएम के रूप में भी जाना जाता है) इलेक्ट्रॉनिक साधनों का उपयोग करके या तो सहायता के लिए मतदान कर रही है या वोट डालने और वोटों की गिनती का ध्यान रखती है। ... ईवीएम के साथ, मतदान पत्र जारी करने के बजाय, मतदान अधिकारी मतपत्र को दबाएगा जो मतदाता को अपना वोट डालने में सक्षम बनाता है।

ईवीएम का आविष्कार किसने किया?

इलेक्ट्रॉनिक वोटिंग भारत में कभी-कभी "ईवीएम" कहे जाने वाले इलेक्ट्रॉनिक वोटिंग मशीनों का उपयोग करके चुनाव करने का मानक साधन है। ईवीएम और इलेक्ट्रॉनिक वोटिंग का उपयोग 1990 के दशक में राज्य के स्वामित्व वाले इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स कॉर्पोरेशन ऑफ इंडिया और भारत इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स द्वारा विकसित और परीक्षण किया गया था।

Vvpat का उपयोग किस राज्य ने किया?

भारत सरकार ने 14 अगस्त, 2013 को चुनाव नियमों के संशोधित आचरण, 1961 को अधिसूचित किया, जिससे आयोग ईवीएम के साथ वीवीपीएटी का उपयोग कर सके। आयोग ने नागालैंड के 51-नोकसेन (एसटी) विधानसभा क्षेत्र से उपचुनाव में पहली बार ईवीएम के साथ वीवीपीएटी का इस्तेमाल किया।

नोटा क्या है?

"उपरोक्त में से कोई नहीं", या संक्षेप में NOTA, जिसे "सभी के खिलाफ" या "खरोंच" वोट के रूप में भी जाना जाता है, कुछ न्यायालयों या संगठनों में एक बैलट विकल्प है, जिसे मतदाता को मतदान में उम्मीदवारों की अस्वीकृति का संकेत देने की अनुमति देने के लिए डिज़ाइन किया गया है प्रणाली।
