ECI to Use AI Tools to Delete Duplicate Elector Entries

ECI to Use AI Tools to Delete Duplicate Elector Entries

The Election Commission of India is the group that runs elections in India.

It makes sure every person can vote only once.

Some people were accidentally listed two times on voter lists.

The Commission will use smart computer tools, called AI, to find the double entries.

First, workers will finish a special cleanup called the Special Intensive Revision.

Then, they will compare names, fathers' names, and Aadhaar numbers to spot matches.

If someone is listed twice, the Commission can send a notice and remove the extra entry.

People who give false information on their voting form can go to jail for up to one year or pay a fine.

This is to make sure every election is fair and every person has just one vote.
