From innovative campaigns by brands aimed at motivating citizens to vote, to political parties leveraging OTT platforms for their advertisements, the digital landscape is abuzz with initiatives to engage the electorate.

Through this collaboration, Tinder seeks to empower users to display their voting status proudly, fostering a culture of civic responsibility among young adults.
Spotify has joined forces with the Election Commission of India to create a dedicated hub featuring playlists curated to accompany the voting experience. With endorsements from renowned musicians like AR Rahman and Shankar Mahadevan, Spotify urges users to “play their part” in the nation’s development by exercising their right to vote.
