He extended support to the election management bodies from various countries present at an international conference, offering assistance in developing similar tools tailored to their languages and regulations.
Kumar emphasized the concerns raised by heads of various electoral management organizations regarding misinformation during the conference.
He referred to ECINET as an additional measure to tackle misinformation, as it consolidates all election-related information.
ECINET will merge over 40 of its current mobile and web applications into one comprehensive platform for electoral activities.
This new platform aims to alleviate the burden on users by eliminating the need to download multiple apps and manage various logins.
Moreover, ECINET will allow users to access pertinent electoral data on their desktops or smartphones. To ensure the utmost accuracy of the information, all data on ECINET will be entered exclusively by authorized EC officials.
Data entry by the responsible official will guarantee that stakeholders receive the most accurate information possible. However, in cases of discrepancies, the original data submitted through statutory forms will take precedence, as emphasized by the poll panel.
ECINET will encompass existing applications like the Voter Helpline App, Voter Turnout App, cVIGIL, Suvidha, Saksham, and KYC App, which have collectively amassed over 5.5 crore downloads.
