The Election Commission of India on Thursday launched ECINET, a consolidated digital platform aimed at bringing together voter services, election information and administrative tools on a single system, as the poll authority steps up its use of technology in election management.
The platform was unveiled at the India International Conference on Democracy and Election Management 2026 in New Delhi, which has drawn election officials and representatives from election management bodies from several countries.
Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar said ECINET had been developed in line with existing election laws and was available in 22 scheduled languages and English. He said India was open to sharing its experience with other election authorities interested in building similar platforms within their own legal frameworks.
ECINET integrates more than 40 existing applications and portals operated by the Election Commission, covering services such as voter registration, electoral roll search, application tracking, candidate information, grievance redressal and polling trends.
Election Commissioner Sukhbir Singh Sandhu said the platform could improve transparency and oversight by allowing faster information flow and closer monitoring of election-related processes.
Election Commissioner Vivek Joshi said the conference provided a forum for election bodies to exchange views on the use of digital tools and technology in conducting elections.
The platform was tested in beta form during the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections and during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. The Election Commission said feedback from citizens was taken into account before the full rollout.
According to commission data, ECINET has processed more than 10 crore voter registration forms since the beta launch, averaging about 2.7 lakh applications a day. More than 11 lakh booth level officers have been registered on the platform and over 150 crore documents have been digitised so far.
Seema Khanna, director general for information technology at the Election Commission, said cybersecurity was a core design consideration, as digital systems increasingly play a central role in election administration.
The Election Commission said the platform would also support monitoring of ground-level election officials while giving voters and political stakeholders a single digital point of access to election-related services.
