The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Wednesday launched ECINET, a one-stop digital platform for all election-related information and services, at the India International Conference on Democracy and Election Management (IICDEM) 2026. The three-day conference, running from January 21-23, is being held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi.
ECINET was conceptualised by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Shri Gyanesh Kumar and Election Commissioners Dr. Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Dr. Vivek Joshi, with its development announced in May 2025.
Speaking at the launch, CEC Kumar said the platform has been built in strict compliance with the law and is available in 22 scheduled languages and English. He invited election management bodies (EMBs) worldwide to collaborate with India on developing similar platforms for their countries, tailored to local laws and languages.
Dr Sukhbir Singh Sandhu highlighted ECINET’s role in enhancing transparency, monitoring electoral functions, enabling quick decision-making, and improving information dissemination. Dr Vivek Joshi said the conference would allow EMBs to learn from global best practices on technology adoption and digital innovations.
Director General of Information Technology, Dr Seema Khanna, underlined cybersecurity as a key pillar of the platform, emphasising that technology is now a strategic enabler rather than a support function. She added that ECINET would strengthen transparency, efficiency, credibility, and public trust in elections.
ECINET integrates over 40 apps and portals of the Election Commission of India, creating the world’s largest electoral service platform. It provides citizens, candidates, political parties, and election officials access to services such as voter registration, electoral roll search, 'Track Your Application', 'Know Your Candidate', 'Connect with Election Officials', 'Book-a-call with BLO', e-EPIC download, polling trends, and grievance redressal—all on a secure, unified platform.
ECINET pilot sees millions of registrations and BLOs digitised
The beta version of ECINET was successfully piloted during the 2025 Bihar Assembly Elections and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Since then, it has processed over 10 crore registration forms—an average of 2.7 lakh per day—and registered more than 11 lakh booth level officers (BLOs). Over 150 crore documents have been digitised through the platform, which also allows seamless monitoring of ground-level election functionaries.
ECINET has been developed in full compliance with the Constitution of India, the Representation of the People Acts (1950 and 1951), Registration of Electors Rules (1960), and the Conduct of Election Rules (1961), making it a comprehensive, citizen-centric solution for electoral services in the world’s largest democracy.
