Bihar presented an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered remote e-voting system at the India AI Impact Summit held in New Delhi.
The system was developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) in collaboration with the Bihar State Election Commission.
The mobile application “e-Voting SECBHR” enables remote voting through Android smartphones.
Voter verification includes One-Time Password (OTP) authentication, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based facial recognition, and matching with the Elector's Photo Identity Card (EPIC) database.
Security features include dual encryption, liveness detection, blockchain-based storage, and audit trails similar to Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT).
The system was first used in the 2025 urban local body elections and may be considered for future Assembly elections.
