The Bihar State Election Commission has decided to roll out an e-voting system using an Android-based mobile.
Bihar will be the country’s first state to adopt this revolutionary change in the voting process.
The entire e-voting process will be executed through two mobile apps, namely “e-Voting SECBHR”.
One app was developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) and another was by the Bihar State Election Commission.
Migrant labourers, migrant voters, divyang voters, pregnant female voters, elderly and senior citizens, and seriously ill electorates will be able to cast their votes using the e-voting process.
The e-voting system will also have features like a blockchain platform, liveness detection, face match, live face scan, and face comparison, making the voting tamper-proof.
Like EVMs feature of VVPAT, an audit trail has also been put in place in the e-voting process.
As per information available on e-voting process, only the European country Estonia has rolled out this option.
