డిజిటల్ వోటింగ్ రాబోతోంది, ఎన్నికల కమిషన్ కసరత్తు మొదలైంది?||India to introduce digital voting?||
The Election Commission of India (ECI) is collaborating with the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IIT-M), to work on technology that would allow voters to exercise their democratic right through a digital device. The technology will allow migrants to vote. The current dispensation at the Centre has talked of making it easier for NRIs eligible to vote in Indian elections to register their electoral opinion—at present, they can only cast their vote at the Indian embassy in the country of their residence. A legislation to allow proxy voting for NRIs also didn’t get much traction in Parliament. Digital voting will help overcome the problems of distance for NRI voters, and hesitations over proxy on part of the Indian legislature. It could even allow migrant workers within the country to cast their votes in polls in their native constituencies. The ECI has said that the new mechanism would require voters to head to a service centre with a dedicated IP line, where a webcam and biometric readers will establish identity, and the voter can then cast her vote from thousands of kilometres away. And, once the success of this is demonstrated, perhaps, it can pave the way for at-home voting for the larger voter base.
