QR-Based ID System at Counting Centres has been introduced by the Election Commission of India to enhance security, transparency, and efficiency during the vote counting process. The new system aims to streamline entry management and improve monitoring at counting centres during elections.
Under the initiative, authorized personnel, election officials, counting agents, security staff, and other approved individuals will receive QR code-enabled identity cards for access to counting venues. The move is expected to reduce the chances of unauthorized entry and strengthen overall security arrangements.
According to officials, the QR-based verification process will allow faster authentication and better tracking of individuals entering and exiting counting centres. The system is also designed to minimize manual verification errors and improve administrative coordination during the counting process.
The Election Commission has been adopting technology-driven reforms to make election management more secure, transparent, and efficient. The introduction of QR-enabled IDs reflects the commission’s focus on modernizing electoral procedures and ensuring smooth conduct of counting operations.
The QR-based security system is expected to support law enforcement agencies and election authorities in maintaining strict surveillance and crowd control at sensitive counting locations. Officials believe the digital verification process will help strengthen public confidence in election management and security protocols.
