"Political parties should also launch awareness campaigns to motivate people for registering themselves as voters," Raminder Singh, CEO, Punjab said.
Presiding over a meeting with representatives of all political parties, he said the Election Commission's main focus would be to enrol those in the age group of 18-20 years, as it has come to notice that youths of this age are less registered.
People residing in slum areas and beggars are also being encouraged to get registered as voters, Singh said, according to a government spokesman.
Singh said he had held a meeting with all government departments who are involved in public dealings to encourage people to become voters.
