In a first, the Madhya Pradesh State Election Commission has successfully conducted paperless voting at a booth in a panchayat by poll in Bhopal.
The Paperless booths have been planned for the purpose of conducting a simple, smooth and transparent voting process in panchayats and urban bodies.
In this paperless process, voters' signatures and thumb impressions are recorded electronically to ensure accurate identity verification and voting records.
The voting percentage and ballot accounting are also being done online.
After the voting ends, the ballot accounting will also be provided to the candidates and polling agents via email.
