EC implements full webcasting for polling station monitoring
This time, every single polling station in the Bihar assembly elections will have webcasting—doubling coverage from before.
The Election Commission says this move is all about making voting day more transparent and easier to monitor.
All the footage will be kept for EC's internal use only, and if internet is spotty somewhere, they'll switch to regular video recording instead.
TL;DR
Control rooms are being set up
To keep an eye on things, control rooms are being set up at state, district, and assembly levels, each with a nodal officer in charge.
Polling stations will be monitored live several times throughout the day as part of the EC's push for fair and transparent elections.
