If you are based out of some other place and are planning to come to Delhi to cast your votes for the upcoming assembly elections that are slated to happen on February 8th, here’s a good news for you! You might not have to spend a penny on your air tickets for the travel!
Yes, you read that right.

SpiceJet has announced to provide free tickets to those who are registered voters in the national capital and want to fly home so as to cast their votes. Their new initiative is called Spice Democracy as the airline made the announcement on Twitter and shared details for participation on their website.

The airline said that it will bear the cost of one way and return tickets for citizens who want to partake in the democratic process.
For a Delhiite living outside of Delhi and wanting to fly back home to cast their ballot in the upcoming elections, all she/he needs to do is register on their website, and write a post from their Twitter/Facebook/Instagram handles on what inspires them to vote.

If shortlisted, the individual needs to book a roundtrip air ticket to Delhi on a SpiceJet flight and make the payment, with date of departure being February 7-8, 2020 and date of return being February 8-9 2020, using the link that will be sent across by SpiceJet.

However, the airline will only bear the cost of the base fare of the air ticket. All applicable taxes, surcharges, levies and any other additional costs will be incurred by the individual.

To ascertain that an individual has voted, he/she will have to upload a picture of their finger marked with indelible ink from their social media handles.
