PRE ELECTION VOTER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

In order to educate voters about the need to vote and more importantly the need to Vote Right and Vote Responsibly, Namma Bengaluru Foundation undertook a month long campaign that aimed at creating awareness amongst the voters on various issues that they need to consider before they vote.

CONSTITUENCY DEBATES

In order to educate the voters on candidates contesting for the upcoming Karnataka Assembly Elections from their constituency, the scope and limits of authority the winning candidates will have when they assume office and to facilitate a chance to meet their candidate and question them about their agenda for the city, we organized constituency debates in association with BPAC and the local RWAs

1. Basavanagudi Constituency - In association with Banashankari 1st Stage RWA
2. Hebbal Constituency – In association with FORWARD Federation of RWAs of Hebbal
3. Malleshwaram Constituency - In association with Swabhimana Trust
