People can be educated about the power of their right to vote in the following ways:

Children should be taught about right to vote, its importance and the history behind the creation of Universal Adult Franchise in schools. They must be informed about the suffragette movement and how men and women fought for their rights.

Proper campaigns must be conducted by the government to educate the voters about their rights and how their single vote will maintain the democratic nature of the country. They must reach all sections of society including minorities and old age people and motivate them to vote.
