The Supreme Court ruled that the State Election Commission (SEC) cannot monopolize voter awareness campaigns and must allow citizen initiatives. It directed the Rajasthan SEC to reconsider an application by activists seeking permission for awareness drives before local elections. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, set aside the SEC's earlier refusal, emphasizing that voter education is not the SEC's exclusive domain.
