Physical to digital: Election campaigns in Nepal undergo several changes over 6 decades

As social media have become a part of everyone’s daily life, the Election Commission (EC) is tapping into its strength for its election campaigns to spread awareness about the forthcoming local elections scheduled for May 13.

On Sunday, the commission called for social media users and announced that people sharing the content prepared by the commission will get a chance to win cash prizes. It stated that the commission will give people a cash prize of Rs 20,000, Rs 30,000 and Rs 50,000 to a person who gets two million, three million and five million views on the video they share respectively. This goes to show the efforts the commission is putting to ensure that its message reaches a wider audience.
