CEC Launches ECINET For All Poll-related Info

New Delhi: Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar on Thursday launched a new App called ECINET for all election related information and services for the benefit of voters, officials and political parties. Describing it as a tool to counter misinformation, the CEC said the App has been developed in strict accordance with the law.

The new platform will reduce the burden on users from downloading and navigating multiple apps and remembering different logins as ECINET will integrate over 40 of various existing mobile and web applications and provide a singular platform for all electoral-related activities.

CEC also offered assistance to the election management bodies of countries attending an international conference to help them develop a similar tool in their languages and in accordance with their laws.

To ensure that data is as accurate as possible, the data on ECINET will be entered solely by the authorised EC official. Entry by the concerned official would ensure that the data made available to the stakeholders is as accurate as possible. However, in case of any conflict, the primary data as duly filled in statutory forms will prevail, the poll panel underlined.

ECI officials said ECINET is the world’s largest electoral service platform bringing all electoral services of the world’s largest democracy together in one seamless experience by integrating several Apps.

“ECINET connects citizens, candidates, political parties, election officials and brings key services like voter registration, electoral roll search, Track Your Application, Know Your Candidate, Connect with Election Officials, Book-a-call with BLO, e-EPIC download, polling trends, grievance redressal, amongst others, onto one secure platform,” ECI officials said.

The beta version of the App was successfully piloted during the 2025 Bihar Assembly Elections and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Ahead of the launch, suggestions were sought from citizens before giving final shape to the platform. Since the beta release, ECINET has processed over 10 crore registration forms till date, an average of 2.7 lakh forms per day. More than 11 lakh Booth Level Officers (BLOs) are registered on the platform. Over 150 crore documents have been digitised through this platform during SIR till date. ECINET also provides a seamless mechanism for monitoring of ground level functionaries.
