In his message to mark the 11th National Voters Day, he said a research project on remote voting using cutting-edge technology has already begun.<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There has been a good progress in this regard and mock trials would begin soon,&#8221; Arora said on Sunday, adding the poll panel&#8217;s proposal to extend postal ballot facility for overseas Indian voters was under active consideration of the Law Ministry. 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. Explaining the &#8221;blockchain&#8221; technology involved in the project, former Senior Deputy Election Commissioner Sandeep Saxena had earlier said the concept is a &#8220;two-way electronic voting system in a controlled environment on white-listed IP devices on dedicated Internet lines enabled with biometric devices and a web camera&#8221;. Saxena, however, made it clear that voters will have to reach a designated venue during a pre-decided period of time to be able to use this facility. &#8220;It does not mean voting from home. After a voter&#8217;s identity is established by the system, a blockchain-enabled personalised e-ballot paper will be generated. &#8220;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,&#8221; 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. &#8220;Suppose there is a Lok Sabha election and a Chennai voter is in Delhi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instead of returning to vote in his or her constituency or missing out on voting, the voter can reach a pre-designated spot set up by the EC, say in Connaught Place, in a particular time window and can cast his vote,&#8221; Saxena had said. He said such voters may have to apply in advance to their returning officers to exercise the option.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: Mock trials for remote voting facility for electors would begin soon, Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora has said.
