|January 23, 2023
The Election Commission of India says it has developed a prototype for a Multi-Constituency Remote Electronic Voting Machine which would enable remote voting by migrant voters. The move is long overdue

HE Election Commission of India (ECI) has invited all national and state political parties on January 16 to demonstrate the functioning of the prototype for a Multi-Constituency Remote Electronic Voting Machine for migrant voters. The Technical Expert Committee members will also be present. The ECI has also solicited written views from recognised political parties on various issues related to the move, including changes required in legislation, changes needed in administrative procedures and voting method/RVM/technology.
Based on the feedback received from various stakeholders and demonstration of the prototype, the ECI will carry forward the process of implementing remote voting methods. The ECI said that in association with a public sector undertaking, it was now Remote ready to pilot a Multi-Constituency Electronic Voting Machine for facilitating participation of domestic migrants from their remote locations in voting for their home constituencies. This modified form of EVM can handle up to 72 multiple constituencies from a single remote polling booth.
The ECI further said that "the initiative, if implemented, can lead to a social transformation for the migrants and connect with their roots as many times they are reluctant to get themselves enrolled at their place of work for various reasons, such as frequently changing residences, not enough social and emotional connect with the issues of area of migration, unwillingness to get their names deleted in electoral roll of their home/native constituencies as they have permanent residence/property, etc."
