- NEW DELHI — The Election Commission is developing a new digital interface for
voters, poll officials and political parties which will integrate over 40 of
its existing mobile and web applications.
-
- ECINET will provide a singular platform for all
electoral-related activities, the poll panel said on Sunday.
-
- The new platform will reduce the burden of users from
downloading and navigating multiple Apps and remembering different logins.
-
- The platform was proposed by the Chief Election Commissioner
Gyanesh Kumar during a recent conference of chief electoral officers.
-
- ECINET will also enable users to access relevant electoral
data on their desktops or smartphones. To ensure that data is as accurate as
possible, the data on ECINET will be entered solely by the authorised EC
official.
-
- Entry by the official concerned would ensure that the data
made available to the stakeholders is as accurate as possible. However, in case
of any conflict, the primary data as duly filled in statutory forms will
prevail, the poll panel underlined.
-
- ECINET will subsume existing Apps like the Voter Helpline
App, Voter Turnout App, cVIGIL, Suvidha, Saksham and KYC App, which together
have clocked over 5.5 crore downloads.
