E-voting may come into being by next Lok Sabha elections in 2024: Chief Election Commissioner

New Delhi: Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora on Friday said, e-voting may be a part of changes that may come into being by the next Lok Sabha elections in 2024.

This will allow  electors to vote from faraway cities without going to designated polling station of their constituencies.

The Election Commission has collaborated with IIT-Madras to work on a new technology which will allow electors to vote from faraway cities without going to designated polling station of their constituencies.

Explaining the ‘blockchain’ technology involved in the project, former Senior Deputy Election Commissioner Sandeep Saxena had earlier said the concept is a “two-way electronic voting system in a controlled environment on white-listed IP devices on dedicated Internet lines enabled with biometric devices and a web camera”.

This is a developing story.
