Around 110 tenants of the society have planned to come together and &lsquo;celebrate&rsquo; Election Day. Hasmukh Furia, one of the residents said, &ldquo;Prabhat society is like one big family. We celebrate every festival together. For the first time, we have decided to celebrate Election Day like a festival as well.&rdquo;
He added, &ldquo;Usually on the day of voting, people tend to take it like any other holiday. Some don&rsquo;t even leave their homes and others go out and relax. However, the priority should be voting and not relaxing.&rdquo;
Another society member, Bakul Vyas said, &ldquo;This election, we have decided to make voting day as a day of festival. We have planned the whole day for people to come out of their homes, participate and most importantly, vote.&rdquo;
On Thursday, members of the society will be served food so that housewives don&rsquo;t have to spend time in the kitchen. Ratilal Sethia, a resident, said, &ldquo;Women will not have the excuse of working in the kitchen.
They can come out with the family and caste their vote.&rdquo; Another resident, Mohini Bhimani said, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m happy with the plan that will inspire people to come out and vote. We will have mango juice and puris for breakfast. Then we&rsquo;ll go to the polling booth. There will be lunch in the afternoon and then we&rsquo;ll have a nice get-together with games and contests.&rdquo;
The residents have also planned a lucky draw contest, for which they will have to show the voting ink on their finger. Bharti Shah, a resident said, &ldquo;Not only the people who vote, but children below 18 are also invited to partake in the fun-filled activities.&rdquo;
