This is how Airtel is helping its customers make informed voting decisions

New Delhi: In order to help voters make informed choice, Bharti Airtel said it is offering its pre-paid users 50 MB free Internet usage tomorrow.

The scheme will be available in Delhi NCR, Haryana and Kerala, which are going to polls tomorrow, from 7 am to 7 pm.

Airtel said the idea behind the initiative is that it wants to give customers an option to go online and read about candidates before casting their votes.
