Interested can register their names through the distributed ledger technology based e-voting till October 18, say officials
Khammam, which bagged several awards for efficient conduct of elections in the past, is all set to host the dry run of the country’s first smartphone-based e-voting solution, an initiative of the Telagnana State Election Commission (TSEC) to build an e-voting facility for certain sections of electors, on a pilot basis on October 20, 2021.
This dry run will feature a “dummy” election using the cutting-edge technology, in which all the registered voters of the Khammam Municipal Corporation (KMC) limits can participate, according to KMC sources.
It forms the crux of the relentless efforts by the TSEC to harness cutting-edge technology to make elections more inclusive, accessible and voter-friendly for differently abled electors and certain other sections of voters.
