Election Commission announces new system for timely voter turnout reporting

The new system will reduce delays and increase transparency in the sharing of approximate voter turnout data during elections.

People familiar with the development said the commission will implement the process during the upcoming Bihar elections through the ECINET application--a one-stop digital interface that aims to integrate more than 40 of ECI’s existing mobile and web applications.

The commission stated that the change was aimed at ensuring timely public communication via the Voter Turnout (VTR) App, though it emphasised that the data-sharing process is not backed by statute and functions purely as a facilitative measure.
