EC rolls out new 'e-sign' feature to prevent voter ID misuse
Election Commission has introduced a new 'e-sign' feature on its ECINet portal and app. With this new feature people who are seeking to register as voters, or applying for deletion and correction have to verify their identity using their Aadhaar-linked phone numbers. This decision comes after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged 'vote theft' and misuse of online voter deletion forms.
