Apart from this, an enthralling cultural event is scheduled to be held on Thursday evening.
Three election officers will be honoured for discharging duties with competency and credit.
Along with the EC headquarters, the voter day will be observed in a befitting manner at all offices across the country tomorrow.
The election affairs body ‘FEMBoSA’ belonging to SAARC decided to observe the voter day on March 2 every year in 2013.
Later, a proposal was sent to the EC with the recommendation to observe the day as the National Voter Day.
The EC unanimously took the decision to mark the day every year since then.
