After reports emerged of Election Commission of India (ECI) using facial recognition technology at바카라 웹사이트a polling booth in Bengaluru, internet rights organisation Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) has filed an RTI with the ECI and raised concerns about바카라 웹사이트surveillance of voting habits.
The report by Moneycontrol said that the system will be piloted at one polling station — Room no. 2, Government Ramnarayan Chellaram College on Palace Road, near the office of the Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer. EC officials told바카라 웹사이트Moneycontrol바카라 웹사이트that voters at this polling station would need to download the EC's Chunavana mobile application..
After keying in their Elector's Photo Identity Card (EPIC) number, mobile number and generating an OTP, they will need to upload a selfie through the app. Once a voter reached the polling booth, he/she would undergo facial recognition scanning for verification, the report said.바카라 웹사이트IFF has asked바카라 웹사이트a copy of the relevant government order/notice/direction accompanying this move in its RTI.바카라 웹사이트
