Overview

  • Under the new system, presiding officers at each polling station will input voter turnout data into ECINET every two hours on polling day
  • The app supports offline data entry in areas with poor mobile connectivity and automatically syncs once networks are restored
  • Presiding officers must record final turnout figures in ECINET immediately after polls close before leaving the polling station
  • ECINET integrates the Voter Turnout Ratio tool and over 40 other Election Commission applications into a single interface to streamline data flows
  • The rollout ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections aims to replace manual methods that previously caused reporting delays of four to five hours
