Why not ? – says Shri
Sunil Arora ( Chief Election Commissioner )
Context :
Extract :
Ø in the 2019 elections, 300 million voters did not exercise their
franchise. That’s a third of India’s 900 million voters. Some were probably not
engaged enough to vote, but a vast majority possibly could not vote because
they were far away from where they were registered as voters
Ø In a
series of articles, TIO had looked at solutions to “ Lost Votes “ – most experts
agreed the answer lay in technology
Ø On
Wednesday, Arora said that the EC is working with the Indian Institute of Technology
, Chennai, to develop a BLOCKCHAIN
SYSTEM that will allow voters registered in any part of the country to
exercise their franchise even after they move cities
Ø Since
many move only temporarily, it makes little sense for them to go through the
hassle of registering as voters in their new place of residence
Ø Arora
said he was hopeful that the BLOCKCHAIN
SYSTEM would be put in place during his tenure { June 2021 ? }
Ø He also
said a proposal to link VOTER IDs with AADHAR, pending wit the Ministry of Law,
would be on the agenda during the EC’s February 18 deliberations on ELECTORAL
REFORMS, with the Ministry

कर्मफलहेतुर्भुर्मा ते संगोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥
You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are
not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself to be the cause
of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your
duty. - Bhagavad Gita, Chapter II, Verse 47
