Election Commission Strengthens Security with QR Code IDs

The Election Commission has introduced a QR code-based photo ID system to prevent unauthorized access to counting centers. This measure will debut on May 4 during vote counts in several Indian states, and it will become a standard for future elections. The system includes a three-tier security check.

The Election Commission is set to enhance security protocols at counting centers by implementing a new QR code-based photo ID system.

This initiative is scheduled to be operational from May 4 when votes are tallied for elections in Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Puducherry.

The system involves a three-tier security process, ensuring only authorized individuals enter, notably utilizing QR scans as a final check.
