New measures for Lok Sabha elections by The Election Commission

New measures for Lok Sabha elections by The Election Commission

The Election Commission has introduced a number of new measures to avoid the obstacles faced in the previous elections. With an estimated 300 million illiterate adults across India, they have decided to add photos of candidates alongside party symbols on electronic voting machines. There have been claims of devices being hacked, but now, these devices will print out a chit for each voter, who can confirm the details before dropping it in a sealed box inside the polling booth.

 

Vehicles transporting the voting machines will also be fitted with GPS devices to monitor their movements. Webcams broadcasting live on the internet will monitor 5,000 polling stations and all counting halls, allowing voters to keep a close eye on proceedings in real time.
