ECI Introduces ‘'Remote Voting' For Migrants | 'First Allay Fears On EVM Misuse' | The Newshour

In this episode of The Newshour, the host Madhavdas Gopalakrishnan will be discussing how the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced on Thursday that it is prepared to test remote voting, a move that will also increase voter turnout. This decision recognises the difficulties faced by domestic migrants in returning to their home constituencies to cast their ballots. The ECI claimed in a statement to have created a multi-constituency Remote Electronic Voting Machine (RVM) that allows voters to cast ballots for various constituencies from a single remote polling place. In the age of technological innovation, it is unthinkable to disenfranchise people based on their migration.

"The fact of the matter is ours is a country rapidly scaling the heights of technological advancement. We are sending satellites to Mars. This is an advance which is long over due as you correctly put it," said Anand Ranganathan, Author.
