Karnataka polls: EC launches Mobile apps for voters

Bengaluru, April 6: Chief Election Commissioner Om Prakash Rawat and Election Commissioners Sunil Arora and Ashok Lavasa on Thursday launched three mobile applications for voters ahead of the May 12 Karnataka Assembly elections.

The applications -- Election Officers' Directory, Model Code of Conduct Reporting and Election Quiz -- would allow the voters to find the contact numbers of the poll officers, report any violations of code of conduct and get information on the polls.

"Our aim is to ensure that no voter is left behind, as every vote is valuable and counts," said Rawat on the occasion.

The poll panel had declared the assembly elections on March 27. The vote count will take place on May 15.

On the second day of the poll panel's visit to the state, its members reviewed arrangements for the polling with the Deputy Commissioners (DCs) and Superintendents of Police (SPs) of the 30 districts across the state, an official statement said.
