The Chief Electoral Officer has assured that the suggestions will be implemented in a timely manner. The Election Commission has also announced plans to launch a new app to speed up the electoral process, making it more efficient and convenient for voters.

The petitioners had alleged that the current system was vulnerable to manipulation and that the Election Commission had failed to take adequate measures to prevent electoral malpractices. The Supreme Court had directed the Election Commission to take steps to address these concerns and ensure that the electoral process is free and fair. The Election Commission has assured that it will take all necessary steps to implement the Supreme Court’s suggestions and improve the electoral process in Bihar. The launch of the new app is seen as a significant step towards achieving this goal. The app will be designed to provide voters with easy access to information and services, reducing the need for intermediaries and minimizing the risk of electoral malpractices. The Election Commission has stated that it will work closely with state authorities and other stakeholders to ensure that the app is launched successfully and that it meets the needs of voters. The move is expected to have a significant impact on the electoral process in Bihar, making it more transparent, accessible, and user-friendly.
