Tovino Thomas is now brand ambassador for Election Commission’s SVEEP campaign

Tovino Thomas took to his social media handles on Sunday, 17 March.

“My best wishes to all the Loksabha candidates. I wish to hereby convey that I’m the ambassador for Kerala for the Election Commission’s SVEEP (Systematic Voter’s Education and Electoral Participation) program, and so it is against the law to use my photo or a photo including me for any kind of election campaigning,” he wrote in his post.

“In case somebody is using it, I wish to clarify that it is without my knowledge or consent. Wishing everyone a fair election experience,” he said.

My best wishes to all the Loksabha candidates.

SVEEP is the flagship programme of the Election Commission of India for voter education, spreading voter awareness, and promoting voter literacy in India.

It is a multi-intervention programme that reaches out through different modes and media to educate citizens, electors, and voters about the electoral process to increase their awareness and promote their informed participation.

After Tovino Thomas’ post, former minister and CPI leader VS Sunil Kumar, who is contesting as LDF candidate from Thrissur, deleted his photos with the actor from his social media pages after the latter.

Sunil Kumar said he wasn’t aware of Tovino’s association with the Election Commission.
