SVEEP Museum & Capacity Building Center
In India, voter turnout had historically stagnated at around 55-60 percent, and these low polling percentages adversely impacted the quality of democracy. To address this, the “Systematic Voters Education and Electoral Participation’’ program, better known as SVEEP, was established in 2009. SVEEPs primary goal is to build a truly participative democracy in India by encouraging all eligible citizens to vote and make an informed decision during the elections.
Grassroots Research and Advocacy Movement aim to submit a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for a proposed Systematic Voters Education & Electoral Participation (SVEEP) Museum (Museum of Democracy) and a Capacity Building Centre by the Election Commission of India in Mysuru. The study will also include recommendations for the self-sustaining model.
