EC Adds E-Sign Feature to Verify Voter List ChangesSaralnama

The Election Commission launched a new e-sign feature on its ECINet portal and app. It requires Aadhaar-linked phone verification for voter registration, deletion, and corrections. Applicants must use the same name on their voter card and Aadhaar. They need to enter their Aadhaar number and verify with an OTP sent to the linked phone. This change comes after allegations of misuse in Karnataka's Aland constituency. The e-sign process aims to reduce false applications., all voter list changes will use this new system., no such verification was needed. Next, the EC plans to expand this feature to other election-related services. (Updated 24 Sep 2025, 07:15 IST; source: link)
