Election officials in Kerala will be equipped with a specially designed mobile app to prevent impersonation and ‘double voting’ by voters on April 26, the Lok Sabha election day in the State.
The office of Chief Electoral Officer (Kerala) has developed the ‘ASD Monitor’ app with technical support of National Informatics Centre (NIC). ‘ASD’ refers to voters in the ‘Absentee, shifted and dead’ category.
The app will allow polling officials to keep tabs on whether multiple votes are being cast by an individual voter. Since polling officials will be monitoring the voters using the app, there is no space for concerns regarding problems such as duplication of names in the voters’ list, CEO (Kerala) Sanjay Kaul said.
