Voter friendly: Get details of candidates at Re1 per page.
RAIPUR: For not so tech-savvy people, getting information about people contesting the upcoming elections is much easier now. The Election Commission of India has decided to make their data, mainly affidavits, giving details of their assets and criminal record, if any, available for Re 1 per page.
However, their details can also be accessed on the website of the ECI and state electoral officers. Officials say that this would be an easy tool for the voters who are interested to know about their or other candidates. Such an exercise would also lead to transparency in the system.
The ECI website also has the record of affidavits filed by candidates in earlier elections. The available data pertains to Lok Sabha as well as assembly polls.
