National Voters' Day is celebrated on which date?

Explanation

National Voters' Day is celebrated on 25 January because the date marks the foundation day of the Election Commission of India, which was established on 25 January 1950. The ECI source says the practice began in 2011, when the Commission started celebrating the voter on its foundation day and observing that day as National Voters' Day across polling station locations, districts and state headquarters. The purpose is not merely ceremonial: the day is linked to voter education and participation, especially encouraging newly eligible and young voters to recognise their responsibility and exercise their franchise. That is why the date is tied to both the institution that conducts elections and the democratic act of voting.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) 14 April is associated with Ambedkar Jayanti, not the ECI foundation day or National Voters' Day.
• (B) 15 March is associated with World Consumer Rights Day, so it does not match the election-participation observance described by ECI.
• (C) 26 January is Republic Day, whereas National Voters' Day is observed one day earlier on 25 January.

Concept

This tests the constitutional-governance calendar around the Election Commission of India and voter participation. RAS repeats such dates because they connect static polity institutions with civic-awareness programmes.
