EC To Begin Remote Voting Trails; Aimed To Ease Voting

Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora has informed that Election Commission would soon begin trials for the remote voting facility. Collaborating with IIT Madras, EC will develop technologies for citizens to vote at their constituencies from far-off places. However, Deputy EC Sandeep Saxena clarified that the trails were not 'vote-from-home' as voters need to reach the designated venue for voting. Sandeep added the systems would advance via 'blockchain' technology on white-listed IP devices.
