Gujarat is celebrating festival of democracy today. On behalf of EC, my sincere appeal to all 4.9 cr voters of Guj to vote today & on 5th Dec during 2nd phase of elections. Over 4 lakh PwD voters & 9.8 lakh senior citizen voters in Gujarat: CEC Rajiv Kumar

We're giving them all facilitations. It's occasion to give equity & equality & show respect to them. Participation of over 10,000 centenarian & PwD voters should be an inspiration for all of us, especially our young voters.Over 182 polling stations being managed by PwD staff: CEC

Similarly, only women election staff will be present at 1274 booths. 4.77 lakh first-time voters would exercise their franchise in these elections & of these,over 3.3 lakh young voters have been added because of the recent electoral reforms: CEC Rajiv Kumar
