These apps can you get all info about assembly elections 2022

Last month, the Election Commission of India announced the poll dates for Goa, Manipur, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.

The assembly elections for all the five states will be conducted in seven phases and slated to kick off later this week from February 10. The voting will conclude on March 7 and the results will be announced on the counting day on March 10.

The election is a democratic way of the decision-making process, where a population of the particular region elects an individual or group of like-minded people to run a public office. It is very important for elections to be carried out in a transparent manner and leave no room for corruption.

Also, it has launched a number of apps to help citizens know their electoral rights, get information of the candidates in their assembly constituency, also get location information of the nearest voting booth, and also a special app for people report complaints against candidates found violating Model Code of Conduct (MCC) during the election time.
