Bihar will introduce the Facility of Electronic Voting or Mobile Voting from the next Urban Elections.
This was revealed by State Election Commissioner H C Sirohi.
Under this Facility, the mobile phones of the voters will be registered in the voters list. The voters will be informed about their number in the voters list and their polling centres so that they exercise their franchise using their mobile phones.
This will make it convenient for voters to exercise their franchise from their homes, and would be a boon to voters residing outside their Hometowns.
Sirohi also emphasised on preservation of the voters list in a scientific manner in the backdrop of the apex court direction recently and also to issue identity cards to all eligible voters. A website will be developed to preserve the voter lists and information related to the voters so as to encourage them to exercise their franchise, the SEC said.
That’s great and hope this new approach would success by defeating all the side-effects.
