What does the first-time woman voter want in 2019?

The 2019 Lok Sabha elections are set to be a turning point in India’s history. But one demographic may upset political predictions – the first-time woman voter.

Whether it is transforming their communities, working on the next big innovation, breaking conventions through music and art, or redefining the rules of business, young women from villages and small cities are achieving the unimaginable. They will change India in the next decade. And The Quint’s six-month long campaign, “Me, the Change”, presented by Facebook, is telling you exactly what they want and how they’ll get there.

What Will ‘Me, the Change’ Campaign Do?

The Quint’s “Me, The Change” campaign will focus on first-time women voters through the stories of ten women ‘achievers’ — women in small cities and villages who have overcome their immediate struggles to do something extraordinary and are now working to multiply this impact in their communities. We will be hosting an event to felicitate these achievers and spark a discussion on the issues that matter to first-time women voters ahead of the 2019 elections.

As part of the initiative, The Quint will conduct a nationwide survey to understand what first-time women voters seek from the new government. Throughout the campaign, we will invite stories from and of young women achievers. The Quint will also promote a ‘Go Vote’ campaign to educate young women about the power of their vote. During Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Mizoram, the campaign will go on-ground and host regional chaupals with women voters.
