MESSAGE Nawada district is situated in the southern part of Bihar at the border of Bihar and Jharkhand. After delimitation, the district has one Lok Sabha Constituency and 5 Legislative Assembly Constituencies. The district is politically sensitive. But elections have been peaceful since the use of meticulous planning by the administration and deployment of Central Para Military Forces. Nawada has been seriously affected by communal violence in recent past. Another concern in terms of law and order is Naxal problems in 6 blocks of the district. Two of the assembly constituencies Govindpur and Rajauli are affected by movement of Naxals. A lot of efforts have gone into improving the health of the electoral roll over the last six months. 51,530 new electors, of which majority are young, will be exercising their franchise for the first time. De-duplication exercise has been effectively done & efforts have been made to make electoral roll more inclusive. The photo roll coverage in the district is 100%. The voter turnouts have been 41.52 % in the 2009 Lok Sabha Election while it improved to 45.4 % in Assembly Elections- 2010. During Lok Sabha Elections 2014, it further improved to 52.25 %. In a way participation has been improving gradually. District election team is making efforts to ensure the participation of remaining 48% electors in the festival of democracy, to exercise their franchise. We are hopeful that the SVEEP campaign would lead to greater participation of electors. Freedom of informed choice is the hallmark of a modern and robust democratic system. The true test of a liberal democracy is to make available that informed choice to the electorate during the conduct of elections. The District Administration in Nawada is committed to ensure a free, fair and peaceful election to meet that end. District Nawada’s ‘Election Management Plan’, thus, includes ensuring a strict adherence to the Model Code of Conduct, a rigorous implementation of the Expenditure Monitoring System and a strategic deployment of the CRPF and the police personnel keeping a watch on the previously identified vulnerable, critical and sensitive booths. In other words, the aim is to eliminate the role of muscle and money power to provide a level playing field for all the contesting candidates. Apart from these preventive measures, the District Administration is also taking pro-active steps in educating the electors to exercise their franchise in a free manner, unhindered by any undue or extraneous influence and contribute towards making the Indian democratic system more participatory, more representative and more responsible.
