E-voting is all set to become a reality soon.You can vote from the place where you are stationed. But “It does not mean voting from home. It is for the people who are away from home and out of the station.
They will be able to vote from the other station with prior intimation and permission from the EC.
After a voter’s identity is established by the system, a blockchain-enabled personalised e-ballot paper will be generated.
“When the vote is cast, the ballot will be securely encrypted and a blockchain hashtag generated. This hashtag notification will be sent to various stakeholders, in this case the candidates and political parties,” the official said.
The encrypted remote votes so cast will once again be validated at the pre-counting stage to ensure that they have neither been decrypted nor tampered with or replaced.
The Election Commission has collaborated with IIT-Madras to work on a new technology which will allow electors to vote from faraway cities without going to designated polling station of their constituencies.
