Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Thursday launched a new digital interface for voters, officials and political parties, describing it as a tool to counter misinformation. He described ECINET as another tool to counter misinformation, as all poll-related facts are available on it. The new platform will reduce the burden on users from downloading and navigating multiple apps and remembering different logins. To ensure that data is as accurate as possible, the data on ECINET will be entered solely by the authorised EC official. The ECINET will subsume existing apps like the Voter Helpline App, Voter Turnout App, cVIGIL, Suvidha, Saksham and KYC App, which together have clocked over 5.5 crore downloads.
