ECI Reforms: Faster Voter Turnout Data for Enhanced Transparency
The Election Commission is updating how it shares how many people vote during elections.
They're creating a new app, ECINET, to collect data quickly from polling stations.
Instead of manually gathering information, the new app will automatically calculate and show the voter turnout every two hours.
This will help people and the media get the information faster.
The goal is to make the election process more transparent.
ECI is improving its systems to provide faster voter turnout data on election day.
The new ECINET app will incorporate all existing apps for various internal and public services.
The app will allow presiding officers to enter data, automatically calculating and displaying the turnout.
Voter turnout data is available on both Android and iOS platforms.
The CEO level will monitor entries to ensure each constituency has timely entries.
