Young first-time voters in India are prioritizing personal preferences over party affiliations in the upcoming election. They believe voting based on individual values and local issues can bring positive change. Factors influencing their decisions include candidate personality, leadership skills, and ability to address local concerns like roads, electricity, water, education, and healthcare. While some consider party policies and manifestos, many emphasize the importance of individual-centric voting. Awareness programs like 'Jago Voter Jago' (Wake Up Voter) are suggested to educate voters. The youth stress that focusing on personal choices rather than party loyalty can lead to better governance and systemic improvements. (Updated 23 Oct 2025, 21:26 IST; source: link)
