Eligible voters are also encouraged to pledge their votes ahead of election day, using a social sharing feature on the portal to publicize their intent, and also encourage two other people to do same.
Aside from eligible voters, candidates vying for posts can also better articulate their manifestos and agenda to the voting public using interactive features on the portal.
