Bihar Elections 2025: ‘Mother of all apps’ ECINET to streamline these 40 services before Bihar elections

The Chief Election Commissioner of India Gyanesh Kumar on Monday, October 6, announced the implementation of the ECINET app, terming it as the “mother of all apps” which is going to streamline over 40 web and mobile based services provided by the Election Commission.

“About 40 different apps have been created by the Election Commission throughout the years gradually,” Kumar said at a conference in New Delhi, where he announced the Bihar polls schedule, which will see voting on November 6 and 11 and the counting will be done on Nov 14.

“So, to combine these together in one place, because every voter or a stakeholder cannot download the different 40 apps, we aimed for ECINET – the mother of all apps. Almost all the apps and services have been combined in the app now. And its progressive implementation as the ‘one-stop digital platform’ will begin from Bihar elections,” he added.

Many different services such as information on voter turnout, voter helpline, election planning, voter services, as well as voting results will be combined in the app.

The digital index cards and reports will also be made available on the app after a few days on the app and the website of the Election Commission.

The ECINET will also help in the resolution of grievances of voters. All the contact details, including those of booth level officers (BLOs), will be available on the app.
