cVIGIL : Handy app for citizens to catch election violators with evidence

The Elections Commission of India on Thursday (November 3) announced the assembly elections dates for Gujarat.

ECI is holding the polls in two phases on December 1 and 5. It will conduct vote counting and declare results on December 8.

With the announcement of election dates, the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) takes effect in the particular state. And, the incumbent government is curbed from announcing any social welfare schemes.

To curb election violations such as candidates offering lucrative gifts to citizens to swing votes in their favour, ECI has improved the cVIGIL app to help citizens catch the violators with evidence. And, also ensure the flying squad reaches the spot on time to comprehend the culprits.
