Any citizen can download the Lifecykul App and go to the Votathon section to participate, after downloading they start by walking or cycling to educate the importance of Voting to the public. At the end of each session the user will know exactly how many kilometres they have covered educating the public.
Storybox Innovative LetsVote Awareness Dispenser Gains Students Attention
LetsVote has also collaborated with the “StoryBox” a social entrepreneur’s team to reach out to the young school students by placing innovative dispensers of reading content. LetsVote believe, children of today are the citizens of tomorrow. Further, children can motivate grown-ups to exercise their right to vote too.
LetsVote has enabled valuable election process related content that will educate the electoral processes among students and their families through these Story Boxes that are placed at 25 schools, and targeting to reach 40 schools. We are also working with the different school managements to increase awareness, said the team. Any school who are interested can also reach out to LetsVote Team or StoryBox team to install the StoryBox at their schools.
