New Voting System: Now you can vote from your mobile no matter where you are in the country! Election Commission is going to introduce a new voting system

Bihar election: A new change is going to happen regarding voting before the Bihar assembly elections. Bihar is going to become the first state in the country where voting can be done through phone. Bihar State Election Commissioner Deepak Prasad gave this information on Friday. His statement came before the voting on Saturday for six municipal councils of Patna, Rohtas, and East Champaran. However, it is not clear at the moment whether voting will be done through phone in the upcoming assembly elections.

Who can e-vote?

This facility will be available to those who cannot go to the polling station and vote. He said that to vote online, an app must be installed on the phone of the voters. Senior citizens, Divyang, pregnant women, and voters living in other states can take advantage of this facility. The State Election Commission also ran an awareness campaign in this regard from June 10 to June 22.

To avail of this facility, voters have to install the e-SECBHR app. After this, it has to be linked to the number linked in the voter list. This app will currently work only on Android phones. This app has been created by the Center for Development of Advanced Computing, while there is another app that has been created by the Bihar Election Commission.

How will the security arrangements be made?

The biggest fear about e-voting is the possibility of tampering with it. Responding to this question, the Election Commission said that many efforts have been made to keep the voting process smooth, fair, and transparent. For example, only two registered voters will be allowed to log in using one mobile number. Apart from this, the identity of every voter will be checked and verified with the voter ID card. Apart from this, voters who do not have a mobile phone can also cast an e-vote on the website of the Bihar Election Commission.
