Introduction
 India
is the world’s largest democracy.
 The population of our country is the second largest in the
world.
 According to the Census 2011 the projected population
in 2014 is over 1.27 billion.
 The constituent assembly of India adopted the principle
of universal adult suffrage reposing faith in the wisdom of
common Indian to elect their representatives to the seat
of power.
 Free and fair election and civil liberty are the necessary
condition for democracy.
 The
conduct of free , fair and impartial election depends
upon the performance of three stakeholders.
Those are
a.
Independent and impartial electoral machinery
b.
Political parties and candidates
c.
Electorate /Voters
All of them must act responsibly to conduct free and fair
poll.

The credit for upholding the democratic tradition of
nation must go primarily to the voters of India whose
commitment to democracy is the driving spirit that guides
the destiny of India as Modern democracy.

DEMOGRAPHY:
From the Census 2011 it is estimated that the population of youth in the
age group of 18-35 years is 31.3% of the total population of our country.

is 51.8%.
 Out of this 48.2% are women and 51.8% are men.
 30.1% reside in urban areas and 69.9% is based in
rural India.
 If we were to be more liberal about the definition of
youth and set the cutoff at 35 years, then a
whopping 47% of eligible voters in 2014 national
election will be aged 35 or below.


India has more than 50% population below the age of 25 and more than 64% below the age

STATE WISE DATA OF YOUTH IN THE AGE GROUP 18-35 and TOTAL VOTERS ,
TABLE-1:
Mindset of voters’:





Based on the report of a New Delhi based Social Science research
institute CSDS (Centre for the Study of Developmental Society for study
on the state of Urban –Youth 2013.
23.1% of the youth would vote according to caste lines however the
literate youth sidelines the caste and religion and votes according to
how well a party can serve in the development sector of the country.
The study also suggests that 27.8% conswider the merit of the
nominated candidates and 24.6% check the status and the word of
political party they belong to.
The recent trends in five state assembly election indicated a major shift
in the mind set of young Indians and we must mobilise them to vote for
India in coming election to build a more energetic, transparent,
accountable and strong central government .
Every votes Count.
Every votes Count or Why to Vote?:

Voting is the best way to express your opinion and allows you to select the best person.

If we don’t vote, we don’t have the right to comment on as to what the public
representatives were doing.

Every political issues and policy effects you whether you know it or not. If you don’t vote
you are putting control of your world into the hands of the other.

Young people have the most to gain and lose in any election because they have to live
with the consequences longer than any one else.

Election day is the one day when everyone

in the country is equal. Your votes counts just as much as any one else’sw
Conclusion:

It is only logical then that we need a larger number of youth in
political forum to represent the aspiration of this vast segment of
society and hope and believe that in this 16 Loksabha poll Indian
youth will come forward to vote and help to get the people of high
morale and character elected as their representative in 16 th
Loksabha.
