As people, we need to create the change we want to see. Bother. To engage with the system. To challenge it. To change it.
To make a new one. To start an idea. To vote. You CAN vote.
Even if you don't hail from the city you're living or working in. Even if you don't have address proof. Even if you live in a hostel.
We need accountability. We demand good governance. Not excuses. We need active citizenship.
Where is the active citizen? Where are you?
We need your voice. We need you to care. Because if you don't and if everyone walks away, who will?
Register. Educate yourself about the elections.
Go Vote.
The YP Foundation, a youth non profit organization, supported by Channel V, LiveMint and DelhiEvents.Com, is running a Voter ID Registration Drive where we will help you fill up the Voter's id procurement form and help you with know-how on the submission process.
We're headed to Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Raipur and Kolkata.
We began in Delhi. Visited Hindu College, Hansraj College, Sri Ram College of Commerce, Jesus and Mary College and Gargi College and registered over 1700 people in Delhi alone. Over 812 of these were students. The rest brought together employees, families, rickshaw wallas, auto drivers and young professionals from across the city. And the numbers are still pouring it!
WE'RE STILL HELPING PEOPLE REGISTER! To register, join us or contact us with a passport size photograph and any one of the following documents:
1. Landline phone bill
2. Mobile phone bill
3. Water bill
4. Electricity bill
5. Property tax receipt
6. Bank statement
7. Passport
8. Ration card
9. House lease / rent agreement
10. LPG receipt
11. Driving license
12. Employee ID card
First time voter's have to submit Proof of age -- either COPY OF BIRTH CERTIFICATE / PASSPORT / PAN CARD / DRIVING LICENSE / STATE BOARD EXAM CERTIFICATE.
Students living in a hostel, not having an address proof only require to get a Student Declaration Form signed by your College Dean / Principal / Registrar and bring it with their form.

Hi Jaya,
I can completely understand where you're coming from. On the 21,22,23rd of Dec - we're helping working people fill out all of their forms. Just call Rajneil at 9999099044 and he will help you out for next week. Do reference this post and my reply to it.
Thanks!

Definately a nice intiative to encourage people for voting. But..
Just a thought.. Y should'nt we take it from here.. instead of relying on the oldies who are running the presently running the country.. Think about as even im.. it.. and if you come up with something.. lemme know.. Im for it..
