Overview

  • ECINET was first operationalized on June 19 during by-elections in five assembly constituencies across Kerala, Gujarat, Punjab and West Bengal
  • Within 72 hours of results declared on June 23, the platform generated non-statutory Index Cards to report post-election statistics
  • The system auto-fills most data fields and enables presiding officers to upload voter turnout trends directly, slashing manual errors and publication delays
  • Index Cards produced by ECINET offer granular statistics including candidate votes, party-wise shares, gender-based patterns and regional variations
  • Developed after consultations with electoral officials and a review of 76 publications, ECINET supports offline data entry that automatically syncs when connectivity is restored
