Jammu, Jan 25 (KNO): Terming the 2024 Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in J&K historic since independence, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday said that not a single bullet was fired, no stone was pelted, and repolling wasn\u2019t required even at a single polling booth across the Union Territory.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speaking at an event organized to celebrate National Voters\u2019 Day in Jammu, LG Sinha, according to the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said, \u201cCoordinated efforts between the administration and security forces led to an unprecedented voter turnout in 2024, the highest in 35 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis record participation by the people sent a resounding message that they are equal stakeholders in peace and democracy. Remarkably, not a single bullet was fired, no stone was pelted, and repolling wasn\u2019t required even at a single polling booth,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He congratulated the Election Commission of India (ECI) for holding impartial and spectacular polls and praised the efforts of officials who managed a massive voter list of 89 lakh people, which was revised after delimitation. \u201cThis included 4,27,000 first-time voters. The administration ensured seamless operations across 11,838 polling stations, and not a single instance of repolling was recorded,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The LG also congratulated Jammu and Kashmir for receiving the “Best Performing State\/UT Award” from the ECI. \u201cThis recognition is a testament to the dedication of officers and the people of J&K who participated in the democratic process in record numbers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LG Sinha paid rich tributes to the framers of the Constitution who empowered the Commission to hold free and fair elections. \u201cThe ECI has played a pivotal role in establishing democracy in India, which is proudly known as the \u2018mother of democracy.\u2019 Its ability to declare results on the same day as counting is unparalleled,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LG Sinha highlighted that India\u2019s election model has become a global benchmark, with countries from both the Global North and South learning from its practices. \u201cThe ECI, which has issued 97 crore voter ID cards, continues to uphold democratic values across the country, ensuring smooth and credible elections,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

National Voters\u2019 Day, he said, holds immense significance in India\u2019s democratic journey. \u201cIt\u2019s a day to celebrate the power of the vote, which empowers every citizen and strengthens the foundation of our democracy,\u201d LG Sinha added\u2014(KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
