Notably the polling station has set a remarkable benchmark by achieving a 100% voter turnout in the first phase of the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly Elections 2024. The Polling took place on September 18, 2024, and the villagers mass participation in voting process has been hailed as a success story for democracy and civic engagement throughout the UT of Jammu and Kashmir. On his arrival, locals accorded a grand welcome and reception to the Deputy Commissioner Rajesh Kumar Shavan and his team.
The DC interacted with the voters of Gorrow, congratulating them for their exemplary participation and commitment to the democratic process.
The voters and the BLO of the polling station were felicitated by Deputy Commissioner with flowers in the presence of other officers.
Despite being a remote village of Block Bonjwah in the Inderwal constituency, faced with multiple challenges in absence of road and mobile connectivity, the Gorrow Village people demonstrated collective will and commitment to exercise their democratic rights by ensuring that every registered voter cast his vote.
BLO, 146-Gorrow apprised the DC that multi-pronged approach was adopted by team to ensure that all the voters including those working outside the district were facilitated to be present on voting day and cast their vote. In his address, the Deputy Commissioner congratulated the voters for this outstanding performance. He added that this milestone of 100% turnout stands as a beacon of hope for many other villages in the UT that continue to struggle with low voter participation. He reiterated that the achievement of Gorrow reflects the increasing awareness of electoral processes, driven by effective voter education initiatives under the Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) campaign led by the District Election Office Kishtwar and people’s civic responsibility on the other hand.
