The Nagaland church body has revived its clean‑election campaign, urging voters to reject vote‑buying ahead of the state polls.
The council of churches in Nagaland announced a renewed drive to promote clean voting as the state prepares for upcoming elections. The religious body called on all citizens to reject any form of monetary inducement or material offers meant to influence their ballot. Leaders of the council emphasized that ethical voting is essential for the moral health of the community and for the integrity of the democratic process.
The campaign will involve door‑to‑door outreach, distribution of informational pamphlets, and public meetings in towns across the state. Organisers said they will coordinate with local volunteers to monitor polling stations and report any instances of vote‑buying to authorities.
By leveraging its moral authority, the church council hopes to set a precedent that discourages corrupt practices and encourages voters to base their choices on policies rather than financial incentives.
