The Election Commission of India (ECI)'s PwD App aims to make the voting process hassle free and accessible for people with disabilities. It allows voters to register themselves and has useful information regarding application status, polling booth location and lots more.
Now there's a welcome addition for people with visual impairments. The app lets them know about the candidates. The update was announced on Twitter by Dr Kushal Pathak, Director IT, ECI . He tweeted, ”Now see the contesting candidates list sorted as in ballot paper. I hope it will help visually impaired citizens to hear the list of candidates before they enter the polling station and cast their vote accordingly." What this means is that voters can listen to the list of candidates from their constituency before they enter the polling booth and make a choice. The names of the candidates will be listed as per the Ballot Paper sequence, making the task of choosing easier.
