The Election Commission (EC) on Thursday launched a new mobile application for near-realtime availability of voter turnout during elections across the country.
The beta version of the “Voter Turnout” app, available onAndroid Playstore, currently shows the state-wise and constituency-wise voterturnout in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
Deputy Election Commissioner Sandeep Saxena said the appwould increase transparency of voter turnout information among public whileensuring easy availability of the same for the media.
He said the data would be constantly uploaded atconstituency level through another app and hence the app would providenear-realtime information.
“Once the election is over and polling parties return, the data would be verified and final figure would be available on the app along with breakup of male and female voters,” Saxena said.
