EC launches tech-driven voting turnout system

• The Election Commission (EC) has introduced a new system to provide real-time updates on voter turnout.

• The system addresses concerns raised by Opposition parties about discrepancies in turnout data.

• Presiding officers at each polling station will enter turnout figures every two hours directly into the ECINET app on polling day.

• This process reduces the time lag associated with manual reporting methods.

• The estimated voting percentage trends will continue to be published every two hours, but the data will be entered into ECINET immediately after the polls close.

• The updated Voter Turnout app will become an integral part of ECINET.
