Voter List e-Sign System: Recently, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi raised serious questions about the Election Commission, alleging that an attempt was made to remove the names of approximately 6,000 voters from the Karnataka Aland Assembly constituency. Rahul also alleged that the identities of genuine voters were misused to submit applications.
Even the mobile numbers used to submit the forms did not belong to the voters in whose names they were filed. Now, amid the controversy surrounding deletions from voter lists, the Election Commission has introduced the “e-sign” feature. So, let’s explore what it is and why it’s important to you. Here, you can learn the essentials about e-sign, as well as the process for completing it. So, let’s explore it further. You can learn more about it further…
What is this e-sign feature and for which tasks will it be necessary?
The Election Commission has launched an e-sign feature that now requires voters to verify their identity using their Aadhaar-linked mobile number when registering, removing their name, or making any other correction. Previously, this feature was available without any verification, but has been implemented to prevent misuse.
Be sure to know this important thing:-
After the new system is launched, if you do a new registration i.e. fill Form 6 or get your name removed i.e. fill Form 7 or get any kind of correction done i.e. fill Form 8, then it will be mandatory for you to e-sign.
Make sure the name on your Aadhaar card and Voter ID card are the same, meaning there are no discrepancies. Furthermore, your mobile number must be linked to your Aadhaar card.
