Election Commission Unveiled Three New Voter-Centric Reforms
The Election Commission of India (ECI), the constitutional body overseeing elections in the country, has launched three new initiatives aimed at strengthening the electoral process. These measures focus on using technology for better data accuracy, ensuring that voters are better informed, and boosting public trust in BLOs—the front-line agents of the ECI. These reforms are crucial to improve transparency, inclusiveness, and voter experience ahead of upcoming elections.
On May 1, 2025, the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced three new initiatives to improve electoral roll accuracy, streamline voter information, and enhance the credibility of Booth Level Officers (BLOs). These measures align with the vision laid out by Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar during the Conference of Chief Electoral Officers earlier this year.
