EC
to host international meet on use of tech, election integrity /
IE / 22 Jan

Extract
:
The Election Commission of India (ECI) will host a two-day
international conference for election management officials from 17 countries
from Monday with the focus on “use of technology and elections integrity”, it said in a
statement on Sunday.
The conference would be the
second one the ECI is hosting under the US-led Summit for Democracy platform,
in which the ECI has been selected to lead the cohort on elections
integrity.
The first conference was in
October where 50 representatives from 11 countries participated.
The
conference comes at a time the ECI has proposed the use of remote voting machines to enable domestic migrants to vote – a
suggestion that most political parties opposed at a meeting held recently.
“Around 43 participants from 17 countries/EMBs [election management bodies]
including Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Chile, Croatia, Dominica,
Fiji, Georgia, Indonesia, Kiribati, Mauritius, Nepal, Paraguay, Peru,
Philippines and Suriname…are expected to join. The representatives from a
number of foreign missions located at New Delhi are
also expected to attend the conference,” the ECI said.
The two-day conference would be
inaugurated by Chief
Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar.
Election Commissioner Anup
Chandra Pandey would chair the concluding session and Election Commissioner
Arun Goel would chair the first
technical session, the ECI said.
Two
international organisations, the International Foundation for Electoral Systems
and International IDEA, would also be participating in the conference.
Dear Election Commissioners,
No doubt, you must be
feeling disappointed by the opposition of many political parties to your proposal
for Remote Voting Machine. But perseverance prevails in the end. On every
available forum, you must keep talking about the huge benefits of REMOTE VOTING
I urge you to use the
forthcoming conference to argue convincingly about the use of technology of Mobile-based voting ( the
ultimate remote ? ), as repeatedly advocated in my following e-mails – and obtain a
consensus of all the participants to adopt a suitable resolution
With regards,
Hemen Parekh
